    D
The only view You've ever had -
   Bm
Is from the inside out
 D
Faith keeps telling You there's more 
    Bm
But You believe in doubt

       G
Well I guess nobody told You -

How beautiful You are
          A
'cos the door was always closed 

when You got too far

     G
They Tricked You into thinking

Both Your wings are clipped 'n'
 D                         A
You ain't ever seeing the sky

   G
If You could see what I see

Maybe then You'd believe
     D                         A
The light You got will always rise

                Bm
'cos there's a great big world outside
     D
Oh, aint it time You fly ?
Bm                      A
Life, it don't have to hurt
                  G     A     D
You don't have to be a caged bird

| Bm |

D
You don't have to carry
      Bm
That weight on Your wings 
    D
And You don't have to silence
      Bm
Every song You want to sing 

        G
And You can't even imagine

 How strong You are
        A
'n' the days all look the same to You

'cos You aint ever seen the stars

     G
They Tricked You into thinking

That both Your wings are clipped 'n'
 D                         A
