A             G
Sober in the morning light
D
Things look so much different
             A           E
To how they looked last night
A                         G
A pale face pressed to an unmade bed
       D
Like flags of many nations flying
 A
high above her head

The cellophane still on the flowers
The telegram still in her hand
As whispers circulate all day
Their back-stage baby princess passed away

Chorus:
          C#m         G#m
And you can cage the songbird
    Bm                 F#m
But you can't make her sing
          C#m         G#m
And you can trap the free bird
            Bm               F#m
But you'll have to clip her wings
               E           E7    E       E7
'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
E           D                   E       A
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
G    D   A
Ooh! ooh!

Promises of no more lies
Fell flat upon an empty stage
Before the audience arrived
A return in time to the cheaper seats
She never knew what lay beneath
Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets
Let down before the final curtain
A shallow heart that left her cold
She left in rouge upon the mirror
A circled kiss to the faithful fans who'd miss her

Chorus:
And you can cage the songbird
But you can't make her sing
And you can trap the free bird
But you'll have to clip her wings
Because she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
