Capo 1
 
 
[Verse]
 
             F#m
My body is a cage
     A/E                            D
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
       F#m
But my mind holds the key
 
             F#m
My body is a cage
     A/E                            D
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
       F#m
But my mind holds the key
 
                    F#m
I'm standing on the stage
   A/E                        D
Of fear and self-doubt it's a hollow play
            F#m
But they'll clap anyway
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             F#m
My body is a cage
     A/E                            C#
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love 
       D                  Bm
But my mind holds the key
       D/A                 Bm
You're standing next to me
   D/A               Bm
My mind holds the key
 
 
[Verse]
 
                 F#m
I'm living in an age
     A/E
That calls darkness light 
          D
Though my language is dead
          F#m
Still the shapes fill my head
 
                 F#m
I'm living in an age
      A/E
Whose name I don't know
           D
Though the fear keeps me moving 
         F#m
Still my heart beats so slow
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             F#m
My body is a cage
     A/E                            C#
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
       D                   Bm
But my mind holds the key
       D/A                 Bm
You're standing next to me
   D/A              Bm
My mind holds the key
 
             F#m  A/E  Bm  F#m
My body is a cage
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
F#m  A/E  Bm  F#m
 
 
[Verse]
 
             F#m
My body is a cage
    A/E
We take what we're given 
     D
Just because you've forgotten
        F#m
Doesn't mean you're forgiven
 
                 F#m
I'm living in an age
      A/E
That screams my name at night
           D
But when I get to the doorway 
        F#m
There's no one in sight
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                 F#m
I'm living in an age
            A
Where they laugh when I'm dancing 
         C#
With the one I love 
       D                   Bm
But my mind holds the key
D/A                 Bm
standing next to me
   D/A                Bm
My mind holds the key
 
 
[Outro]
 
G                  A
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
 
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
G           A
Oooh Oooooh oh oh

It's not still turning in the night, it's 'screams my name at night". Brilliant tjob though

That's just how the song goes. Tab's spot on by the way
