Verse:
Gm
My body is a cage
Bb Eb
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
Gm
But my mind holds the key
Gm
My body is a cage
Bb Eb
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
Gm
But my mind holds the key
Gm
I'm standing on the stage
Bb Eb
Of fear and self-doubt it's a hollow play
Gm
But they'll clap anyway
Chorus:
Gm
My body is a cage
Bb D
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
Eb Cm
But my mind holds the key
Eb Cm
You're standing next to me
Eb Cm
My mind holds the key
Verse:
Gm
I'm living in an age
Bb
That calls darkness light
Eb
Though my language is dead
Gm
Still the shapes fill my head
Gm
I'm living in an age
Bb
Whose name I don't know
Eb
Though the fear keeps me moving
Gm
Still my heart beats so slow
Chorus:
Gm
My body is a cage
Bb D
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
Eb Cm
But my mind holds the key
Eb Cm
You're standing next to me
Eb Cm
My mind holds the key
Gm Bb Cm Gm
My body is a cage
Instrumental: Gm Bb Cm Gm
Verse:
Gm
My body is a cage
Bb
We take what we're given
Eb
Just because you've forgotten
Gm
Doesn't mean you're forgiven
Gm
I'm living in an age
Bb
That screams my name at night
Eb
But when I get to the doorway
Gm
There's no one in sight
Chorus:
Gm
I'm living in an age
Bb
Where they laugh when I'm dancing
D
With the one I love
Eb Cm
But my mind holds the key
Eb Cm
standing next to me
Eb Cm
My mind holds the key
Outro:
Ab Bb
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Ab Bb
Oooh Oooooh oh oh

I hear it as a Cdim7. I’ve got the Es at 4447 and Cdim7 at 5656. Also, I like the sound of a Dbm6, so the verse goes:
2220 4222 2120 2322
4447 5656 4447 3444
Yeah, i think the C should be Cdim! That sounds good to my ear, at least 🙂
The “C” on this line just doesn’t sound correct when I play it.
E C
The world could show nothing to me,
Is it just me?
I agree, Ewan, it sounds dreadful to me.
i tried to find an alternative chord for the unappealing ‘C’, although I am playing this on piano and i’ve moved it to +3 (so it is my range for singing) and I think a a/cm chord works perfectly on piano, I’m just not sure how to adapt this chord for the ukulele..
for the original key, try am with a c base 😀 hope this helps!!
When I heard the C, it also didn’t sound right to me. Instead I played Am. Sounds much better. Hope this helps.
