Cage The Songbird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Sober [C]in
[Bb]the morning [F]light
Things look so much different
[Bb]To how they look[C]ed last nigh[G]t[C]
A pale face [Csus4]pressed t[C]o an u[Bb]nmade bed
Like [F]flags of many nations
[Bb]Flying high [C]above her head
[Csus4]The cellophane [C]is [G]still
on [Bb]the flowers
The telegram still in her [F]hand[C]
As whispers [Csus4]cir culat[C]e all d[Bb]ay
Their [F]backstage baby princess
[Bb]passed away
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]You can cage [Bm]the songbird
But [Dm]you can't make her [Am]sing
[Em]You can trap the [Bm]free bird
But you'll [Dm]have to clip her wing[Am]s
'Cause she'll [G]soar like a hawk
[C]whe[G]n she flies
[Gsus4]But she'l[G]l die l[F]ike an eagle

[Verse 3]
[G]When [Am]she d[G]ie

[Interlude 1]
[C][Bb][F][Bb][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]Promises [Csus4]of no mor[C]e lies[Bb]
Fell [F]flat upon an empty stage
[Bb]Before the audie[C]nce arrived
[G]A r[C]eturn in time to
[Bb]the cheaper seats
She never knew what [F]lay beneath
Just a dated hand[Bb]bill they [C]found
beneath [Csus4]the sheets[C]
Let down before [G]the final
[Bb]curtain
The shallow heart that left her [F]cold[C]
She left in [Bb]rouge upon the mirror
A circled [F]kiss [Bb]oh to t[C]he faithful fans
Who'd miss her

[Verse 5]
You [Em]can cage t[Bm]he songbird
But [Dm]you can't make her [Am]sing
You [Em]can trap t[Bm]he free bird
But you'll [Dm]have to clip her
wing[Am]s
'Cause she'll [G]soar like a
[C]hawk [G]when she flies
But she'll [F]die like an eagle
[G]When [Am]she d[G]ie
