Fm
Clipped wings, I was a broken thing,
      C#
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
    G#                        D#              C/E
You wore me down. I struggled on the ground, woh!

So lost, the line had been crossed
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
You held me down I struggle to fly now, oh

Fm
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C#
Cause we hold on so tight, we cannot deny
     G#                   D#        C/E
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh!

Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah

Chorus:
        Fm
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key
          C#
I found myself in my melodies
           G#
I sing for love, I sing for me
           D#                         C/E
I shout it out like a bird set free, No
        Fm
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key
          C#
I found myself in my melodies
            G#
I sing for love, I sing for me
           D#
I shout it out like a bird set free!

C/E   Fm        C#        G#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
            D#
I shout it out like a bird set free!
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I shout it out like a bird set free!

Now I fly, hit the high notes
I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
You held me down, but I fought back loud, oh

And there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh, it eats us alive, oh
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah

Chorus

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
