Chords with lyrics

Intro: DmDm  FF  C majorC  G+G

DmDm         FF
I've been an ace girl
         DmDm         FF
Offering much, grumbling low
      DmDm             FF
And I gave all,   all that was asked of me
            DmDm          FF
When order was slow and vision was unrelenting

DmDm               Bb majorBb
I    never stopped long enough
     FF           C majorC
To swim against the tides of old
    DmDm              Bb majorBb
And I   was single-minded too much
    FF          C majorC
To look toward this new true north
So now

FF               C majorC
  Permission to be
         DmDm
Permission to slow
       Bb majorBb            FF
And do the only things that matter to me
       C majorC
The freedom to flow
         DmDm
To where genuine flows
       Bb majorBb
And do the only things that matter to me

    DmDm      FF
And sure, I've had my fun
      DmDm
Played with my roles
      FF
With time for a break hard-won
    DmDm        FF
But then after a while
        DmDm
So much done by rote
         FF
No longer by inspiration

DmDm           Bb majorBb
I've  never stopped long enough

   FF             C majorC
To see whose was this blind ambition
    DmDm         FF
And I   was not sanctioned to stop
      Bb majorBb            C majorC
And realize whose was this old mission
So now

FF               C majorC
  Permission to be
         DmDm
Permission to slow
       Bb majorBb            FF
And do the only things that matter to me
       C majorC
The freedom to flow
         DmDm
To where genuine flows
       Bb majorBb
And do the only things that matter to me

          C majorC      DmDm       Bb majorBb
With this space by the dropping of weights
       C majorC
This license to obey
     DmDm         C majorC
With this time really wait
So now

FF               C majorC
  Permission to be
         DmDm
Permission to slow
       Bb majorBb            FF
And do the only things that matter to me
       C majorC
The freedom to flow
         DmDm
To where genuine flows
       Bb majorBb               FF
And do the only things that matter to me

C majorC    Bb majorBb   DmDm             FF
       The simple things that matter to me
C majorC    Bb majorBb   DmDm             FF
