My Body Is A Cage

Written by Win Butler/Régine Chassagne

	  		
Intro 
   


Verse
             G5 
My body is a cage 
     Eb7M                           G5 
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love 
   Eb7M 
My mind holds the key 
   (horn)
 

             G5 
My body is a cage 
     Eb7M                           G 
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love 
       Eb7M            
But my mind holds the key 
G5                Bbm 
I'm standing on a stage 
   G 
Of fear and self doubt 
       Eb7M 
It's a hollow play 
            G          Eb7M | G | Eb7M 
But they'll clap anyway 

Verse
             G5 
My body is a cage 
     Eb7M                           G5 
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love 
   Eb7M 
My mind holds the key
 



 
Gm                 Bbm 
 My mind holds the key 
                 G5 
I'm living in an age 
        Eb7M         
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 
  (bass drum) 
(G.P.)

             G5 
My body is a cage 
            Bb 
We take what we're given

Just because you've forgotten 
        Bb/F           Fsus4 
Doesn't mean you're forgiven 

Gm   Eb           G5 
 I'm living in an age 
              Bb

But when I get to the doorway

There's no one in sight

I'm living in an age

I realize I am dancing with the one I love 
       Eb7M    
But my mind holds the key

 You're standing next to me
