verse 1
Em
Clipped wings, I was a broken thing
C
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
G
You would wind me down
D B
I struggled on the ground, oh
Em
So lost, the line had been crossed
C
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
G
You held me down
D B
I struggle to fly now, oh
Pre-Chorus 1
Em Bm
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
G D B
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh
Em Bm
Yes there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C G
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
D
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
B Em
Well I don't care if I sing off key
Bm C
I find myself in my melodies
G
I sing for love, I sing for me
D
I shout it out like a bird set free
B Em
No I don't care if I sing off key
