Key: F 

Intro:

F 

Verse 1:
F                    C              F 
If you hear a voice call out your name
            A#add9    F /A   F /G   F 
Say you can stop yourself from falling
F                      C                F 
And if he strikes you in his fear and shame
        A#add9     F /A  F /G  F 
You can leave him to  his ruin

Verse 2:
F                             C       F 
If your dreams they wake you in the night
        A#add9 F /A  F /G   F 
And your heart it is a pounding
F                      C             F 
If you cry out as you wake in your fright
       A#add9    F /A  F /G  F 
And the wind it is  a   howling

Chorus:
Dm7                      A#add9   F 
Maybe it’s time to find another place
Dm7                Gm          C 
Where nobody even knows your face
Dm7                  A#add9 F 
There is no need to be  afraid
        A#add9 F /A  F /G  F 
For its only  freedom calling

Bridge:
F   C   F 
A#add9 F /A  F /G   F 
F   C   F 
A#add9 F /A  F /G   F 

Chorus:
F                       C    F 
If your tears begin to overflow
       A#add9   F /A   F /G  F 
As you walk against the undertow
F                    C    F 
There is no need to be afraid
       A#add9 F /A  F /G   F 
For its only freedom calling

Verse 3:
F                            C     F 
If you're sad 'cause you're all alone
         A#add9       F /A  F /G   F 
And your hands they  are a   shaking
F                            C           F 
And your miracle cure's not working anymore
        A#add9        F /A    F /G  F 
And the flood bank’s close to  breaking

Chorus:
Dm7                    A#add9        F 
Suddenly you're on an open unknown road
Dm7                     Gm         C 
Passing all the heavy, long wide loads
Dm7                      A#add9  F 
It is time to make your great escape
            A#add9     F /A  F /G  F 
And you can hear your freedom calling

Verse 4:
F                        C       F 
I want to dive into the sea of love
       A#add9      F /A  F /G  F 
But my knees they are  a  quaking
F                      C    F 
I can see myself high up above
            A#add9   F /A  F /G   F 
And there's no time left for faking

Chorus:
Dm7                  A#add9    F 
I no longer need to understand
Dm7                  Gm    C 
What it is to truly be a man
Dm7                        A#add9 F 
Only when I gave up on my masterplan
      A#add9     F /A  F /G   F 
Did I then hear freedom calling
      A#add9     F /A  F /G   F 
Did I then hear freedom calling

Outro:
Dm7    A#add9   F 
A#add9  F /A   F /G   F
