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
