BmHow to Dsave your Glife
from your miBmnd tidesD  G  
that oBmf so maDny Greasons
only leave your BmdouDbtGs
And I Dwalk on the F#mtip of my Gtoes
and the second after
DI'm squashed up F#magainst the Gwall
Like a bird in a Bmcage
who's not Dable to Gfly
Like a bird who no Bmlonger
Can Dlove the Gsky
Bridge:   E   G(2x)
EScared of the sun and scGared of the height
They built a Ecage around you
And now Gthat's what you like
How to save your life
from your mind tides
that of so many reasons
only leave your doubts
And I toss and turn in my bed
And my heart beats so fast that I just can't rest
And to close my eyes doesn't seem so kind
And I get this feeling like I'm about to die
Scared of the sun and scared of the height
They built a cage around you
And now that's what you like
Come as you are
Just follow your heart
Don't be shy to have faith
It's a lonely embrace
Solo:   D    F#m   G(4x)
Come Don come F#mon come Gon
I need the Dstrenght
The F#mstrenght that is Ggone 
(repeat the last part a few times)
