[Intro]
D    A


[Verse 1]
             D
New year of '13
                                                     A
Sat on the roof of your one-bed apartment, stared at the city
A
Oh, London, you're pretty
                 D
The way that you held me
                                                         A
Tight like I'd leave in a slip of the wind, it felt like the future
A
Thought I'd never lose ya


[Chorus]
      D
I was free, free
  A
I was free


[Verse 2]
        D
Forward to '20
                                                      A
Both of us screaming alive at each other, "Get out of my house"
A
"I'm done with you now"
       D
Said I never loved you
D
But I always loved you
                Asus2
And I'll always love you


[Chorus]
      D
I was free, free
  A
I was free
D
Free, free
  A
I was free


[Verse 3]
            D
I'm nervous to say it
                                 A
Not one to sleep with a stack of regret, but I'm sorry we got here
A
I wish I'd done more to save us
                   D
Shoulda killed you with kindness
                                                                 A
Swallowed your tears when your eyes opened wide, but I'm drawing in darkness
               Asus2
I wish I could stop it


[Chorus]
       D
And be free, free
  A
I was free
D
Free, free
  A         Asus2
I was free


[Outro]
D                                                       A
I wish I was (I wish I was), I wish I was, I wish I was free (I wish I was), mm
D                                    A
I wish I was, I wish I was, I wish I was free
