Birds Set Free

Em C G D

[Verse 1]
Em
Clipped wings, I was a broken thing,
      C
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
    G                         D
You wore me down. I struggled on the ground, woh!

[Verse 2]
Em
So lost, the line had been crossed
      C
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
    G                        D
You held me down. I struggle to fly now, woh!

[Bridge 1]
Em
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C
Cause we hold on so tight, we cannot deny
     G                    D
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh!
Em
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die
G                                    D
No, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah!

[Chorus 1]
         Em
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key
          C
I found myself in my melodies
           G
I sing for love, I sing for me
           D
I shout it out like a bird set free, No
        Em
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key
          C
I found myself in my melodies
             G
I sing for love, I sing for me
           D
I shout it out like a bird set free!
    Em    C     G             D
Oh….., oh…, ohhh… I shout it out like a bird set free!
   Em    C     G             D
Oh….., oh…, ohhh… I shout it out like a bird set free!

[Verse 3]
Em
Now I fly, hit the high notes, I
       C
Have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
    G                        D
You held me down. But I have fought back loud, Oh

[Bridge 2]
Em
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C
Cause we hold on so tight, we cannot deny
     G                    D
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh!
Em
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die
G                                    D
No, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah!

[Chorus 2]
        Em
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key
          C
I found myself in my melodies
           G
I sing for love, I sing for me
           D
I shout it out like a bird set free, No
        Em
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key
          C
I found myself in my melodies
             G
I sing for love, I sing for me
           D
I shout it out like a bird set free!
