[Verse]
C
Like a bird she was wounded, a prisoner he found
                              G
He kept her beside him on the ground
C
She wanted him to release her, but he didn't want her to fly
                                    G
He had come to depend on seeing her cry

[Chorus]
           F       Am
He cut her wings
                    Dm7    C
But she could still sing
                       G              C
He didn't see he could never stop her heart

[Verse]
C
Just like in a cage, he kept her, but inside she grew strong
                                                  G
And in some ways it was nice to have a place to belong
    C
But freedom called in its own way, soft moonlit nights in her thoughts
                                          G
And the war raged on inside that she always fought

[Chorus]
           F       Am
He cut her wings
                    Dm7    C
But she could still sing
                       G              C
He didn't see he could never stop her heart

[Bridge]
        F                      Am
Ah, the love that plays in the strangest ways
                  Dm7                 C    G
She felt his warm embrace like fire inside her
             F                              Am
And when the day would break, it seemed her heart would shake
                    Dm7  C  G
She knew he had her soul at stake

[Instrumental]
G  C         G

[Chorus]
           F       Am
He cut her wings
                    Dm7    C
But she could still sing
                       G              C
He didn't see he could never stop her heart

[Verse]
C
Like a bird she was wounded, a prisoner he found
                                               G
But time was running out, he couldn't keep her down
   C
So one day he released her, thinking that she wouldn't go
                                                     G
But how she was able to fly was something he'd never know, no, no

[Chorus]
           F       Am
He cut her wings
                    Dm7    C
But she could still sing
                       G              C       G
He didn't see he could never stop her heart

[Chorus]
           F       Am
He cut her wings
                    Dm7    C
But she could still sing
                       G              C
He didn't see he could never stop her heart, oh no
                       G              C
He didn't see he could never stop her heart
