[Intro]
Cm Fm Bb Eb G Cm D7 G7
 
[Verse 1]
Cm                  Fm
I'm a fish inside a birdcage
Bb                         Eb
My brother always sings me songs
G                             Cm
And with his beak he tries to soothe me
D7                      G7
He makes me feel that I belong
Cm                 Fm
He has a wild imagination
Bb                               Eb
And tells me things that must be true
G                                Cm
Like there's a world where I can take flight
D7                 G7
Where I can freely move
 
[Chorus]
   Eb             Bb
So carry me from these walls
F          D
Brother of mine
Gm                   C
Show me the world outside
          Eb
It has to be true
             D7
I'm counting on you
   Eb     F           Cm
To be my wings and my eyes
 
[Instrumental]
Fm Bb Eb G Cm D7 G7
 
[Verse 2]
Cm                    Fm
As I breathe into our silencе
Bb                            Eb
There's a voice that comforts mе
G                     Cm
It's a voice of understanding
D7                    G7
It's the voice of empathy
Cm                           Fm
Wings of feathers, tails and fin tips
Bb                          Eb
I feel each rock so differently
G                             Cm
You gave me more than I could ask for
D7                G7
Indistinguishability
 
[Chorus]
   Eb             Bb
So carry me from these walls
F          D
Brother of mine
Gm                   C
Show me the world outside
          Eb
It has to be true
             D7
I'm counting on you
   Eb     F           Cm
To be my wings and my eyes
 
[Instrumental]
Fm Bb Eb G Cm D7 G7
 
[Chorus]
   Eb             Bb
So carry me from these walls
F          D
Brother of mine
Gm                   C
Show me the world outside
          Eb
It has to be true
             D7
I'm counting on you
   Eb     F           Cm
To be my wings and my eyes

The tab is very good over all, but playing C on "So carry me through these walls" seems kinda off to me. I personally would play A# and then C7, it sounds a little better in my opinion
