Bird Set Free (acoustic)

	  		 


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 
Bm       C 
I find myself in my melodies 
           G 
I sing for love, I sing for me 
              D

verse 2 

Em                                
   Now I fly hit the high notes, I 
       C 
Have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight 
    G 
You held me down 
      D                 B 
But I fought back loud, oh
