[Intro]
C Cmaj7 Am F

[Verse I]
C                             Am
I don’t know what you’ve been told
                      F
But you don’t have to stay
                          G7
Just ‘cause they say they know your way
C                     Am
Only you can make the call
                              F
You’re scared that you could fall
                       G7
But darling, you could fly
    F*            G7*
I’m talking to myself again

[Chorus]
C
There’s a paradox I’m facing
Am
I am free and I’m held captive
F
Will I ever win the war
G7
Or will it carry on?
C
I’m hoping for some answers
Am
What is stronger than the fear?
F
I am thinking my free spirit
G7
For the first time might be here
   F*                  G7*                    C  Cma7  Am  F
To break the rules and watch your words sink down

[Bridge]
C   Cmaj7   Am              F    D7
I   am      free if I wanna be
C   Cmaj7   Am              F    D7   D7*
I   am      free do I wanna be?

[Verse II]
C                             Am
I don’t know what I’ve been told
                    F
But I don’t have to go
                          G7
Just ‘cause they say they know my way
C                   Am
Only I can make the call
                         F
I’m scared that I could fall
                     G7
But darling, I could fly
    F*           G7*
I’m talking to myself again

[Chorus]
C
There’s a paradox I’m facing
Am
I am free and I’m held captive
F
Will I ever win the war
G7
Or will it carry on?
C
I’m hoping for some answers

What is stronger than the fear?
F

G7
For the first time might be here
   F*                   G7*                   C  Cma7  Am  F
To break the rules and watch your words sink down

[Bridge]
C   Cmaj7   Am              F    D7
I   am      free if I wanna be
C   Cmaj7   Am              F    D7
I   am      free do I wanna be?
    C   Cmaj7  Am  F  D7   D7*
I’m free---

[Ending]
C*                  Am*
Only I can make the call
                        F*
I’m scared that I could fall
                     G7*
But darling, I could fly
