[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

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

It has to be true

I'm counting on you

To be my wings and my eyes

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

It's the voice of empathy

Wings of feathers, tails and fin tips

I feel each rock so differently

You gave me more than I could ask for

Indistinguishability
[Chorus]

So carry me from these walls

Brother of mine

Show me the world outside

It has to be true

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
