[Verse]
Am                   F
 i stacked up all my sins
                      C
i push you won't give in
       E
i must confess to this broken heart

Am                       F
 cause i've been picking locks
                       C
and moving through the dark
              E
i know you're here
                Am
but you feel so far

        G             D/F#  F
you and i could never talk about it..
Am       G             D/F#  F
 you and i could never talk about it..


[Chorus]
F                          C     E
 love's no bluff you can't play along..
F                          C      E
 caught up singing someone else's song..

F                       C         E
 i said all the words i needed to say..
       Am   G   Dm
when i said goodbye..
                 Am    F  C E
the caged bird never flies..

Am                 F
 don't you cry for me
                    C
i only ever had the key
to set you free
   E
so you can begin

Am                F
 to soar so high above
                      C
and find something to love
and trust in time
       E
broken hearts do mеnd

Am       G             D/F#  F
 you and i could never talk about it..
Am       G             D/F#  F
 you and i could never talk about it..


[Chorus]
F                          C     E
 love's no bluff you can't play along..
F                          C      E
 caught up singing someone else's song..

F                        C         E
 i said all the things i needed to say..
       Am   G   Dm
when i said goodbye..
                       Am
cause the caged bird never flies..

 G                D/F#
(caged bird never flies)
F           Am
   it never flies babe
 G                D/F#
(caged bird never flies)
F     Am
hey.. hu.. uh..
 G                D/F#
(caged bird never flies)
F     Am
uh..  ha..
 G                D/F#
(caged bird never flies)
F

[Chorus]
F                          C     E
 love's no bluff you can't play along..
F                          C      E
 caught up singing someone else's song..

F                          C     E
 love's no bluff you can't play along..
F                          C      E
 caught up singing someone else's song..

F                       C         E
 i said all the words i needed to say..
       Am   G   Dm
when i said goodbye..
                       Am       F
cause the caged bird never flies..
C     E
