Dm                   Gm        Dm
Like a pair of open wings, you bind me,
Gm    Dm                  Gm    Dm      Gm
To a world, I helped you build around me,
Gm    Dm                     Gm           Dm Gm
Our gilded cage has turned into a prison cell,
Gm      Dm            Gm                    Dm  Gm
Like a dream when it dies becomes an empty shell.

Chorus:
   Dm         Gm              Dm
Untie the knot, the hold over me
       Gm
you got
   Dm        Gm               Dm
Untie the knot, the hold over me
you got

Like a slave who's bound in chains, a broken man
Like a pain no one could ever understand
That's the spark that lights the fire deep inside
As long as you ain't no blue in my sky

Chorus:
Untie the knot, the hold over me you got
Untie the knot, the hold over me that you got

F C      Dm   C          G/B G A
Set me free from these chains,
F    C        Dm
The time has come to
 C   G/B G A
rearrange our destiny

Chorus:
Untie the knot, the knot
Untie the knot, untie, untie, set me free,
set me free
