[Verse 1]
 
Em
   Clipped wings
                  Bm
I was a broken thing
      C
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
        G
You had worn me down
            D              B
I struggled on the ground, oh
Em                            Bm
   So lost, the line had been crossed
      C
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
    G
You held me down
              D        B
I struggle to fly now, oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em                                      Bm
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
     G                    D          B
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh
Em                                       Bm
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C                                         G
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
 
I don't wanna die
              D   B
I don't wanna die
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Em
And I don't care if I sing off key
  Bm      C
I find myself in my melodies
             G
I sing for love, I sing for me
             D
I shout it out like a bird set free
    B        Em
No, I don't care if I sing off key
  Bm      C
I find myself in my melodies
             G
I sing for love, I sing for me
                D                      B Em   Bm C    G
I'll shout it out like a bird set free!
                D                      B Em   Bm C    G
I'll shout it out like a bird set free!
                D                      B
I'll shout it out like a bird set free!
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em
Now I fly, hit the high notes
Bm       C
I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
    G
You held me down
       D                B
But I fought back loud, oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em                                      Bm
And there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
     G                    D          B
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh
Em                                       Bm
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C                                         G
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
 
I don't wanna die

The chord progression in the verses and chorus isn't correct. It should be Em C G D. Also, the B major you heard in the song isn't actually a B major, it's just a chromatic transition between D and Em (Eb). However, the Eb is a third of B Major, so i understand why you heard that. Overall, needs some improvement but not too bad.
