Arcade Fire - My Body Is a Cage

[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
Ab                  Bb
Set my spirit free
Ab                  Bb
Set my body free
Ab                  Bb
Set my body free
