D                                      Am 
I want to sing my own song, that's all 
C                           D 
cried the bird & flew into a wall. 
D                                         Am 
There must be some way out, he cried

& his desperation echoed down the hall. 
 
Chorus: 
 
D                                        Am

dying to get out 
D                                        Am 
Just another bird in the house 
C                    D 
dying to get out

C                          D 
cried the bird & flew into a wall. 
D                                          Am 
There must be some way out, he cried

& his desperation echoed down the hall.
