My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
       EbM7           
But my mind holds the key
G5                Bbm
I'm standing on a stage
   G
Of fear and self doubt
       EbM7
It's a hollow play
            G          EbM7 | G | EbM7
But they'll clap anyway

  (orch. enters)
Gm                 Bbm
 My mind holds the key
                 G5
I'm living in an age
        EbM7        
That calls darkness light
          G5
Though my language is dead
          Bbm
Still the shapes fill my head

G/B               Bbm
 I'm living in an age
      G             
Whose name I don't know
           Dmadd4
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
