[Verse]
Am                         F
I was born in a prison
C                                   G
no hope for escape
Am                                   F
I got used to the silence
C                                   G
as I stuck in my cage

[Chorus]
F                  G
you can not miss
C                                                    Am
what you have never seen before
F                                   G
but deep inside you know
Am
there must be more

[Interlude]
Am F  C  G

[Verse]
Am                                                    F
I heard a voice but I could not follow
C                                   G
it was a language I didn’t know
Am                                   F
Ive seen a light and it used to blind me
C                                   G
was it real or just a dream?

[Chorus]
F                  G
you can not miss
C                                   Am
what you have never seen before
F                                   G
but deep inside you know
Am
there must be more

[Bridge]
G                                                    C
as I left no one tried to stop me
Am
so I learned
F                  C                  G                  Am
I was always as free as I wanted to be
F                  C                  G
I was always as free as a bird
F                  C                  G                  Am
I was always as free as I wanted to be
F                  C                  G
but I was just too scared to see
Am
who I could be.
