FF
If I were free, what I would do
Bb majorBb FF
I'd run and lock myself away with you
Bb majorBb FF
And turn a ring, into a key
C7C7
Oh, I know that's what I'd do,
FF
if I were free
Bb majorBb FF
FF
If I were strong, I would be so mild
Bb majorBb FF
I would be strong enough to love you like a child
Bb majorBb FF
I would turn a cry, into a song
C7C7
Oh, I know that's what I would do,
FF
if I were strong
Bb majorBb FF
If I were wise, then I would see
C7C7 FF
What makes you love a foolish man like me?
Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF
I'd stand by you, just like a tree
C7C7
Oh, I know that's what I would do,
FF
I would chain myself to you
C7C7 FF
I would never leave this room, if I were free
Bb majorBb FF
FF
A augmentedA line of birds, across the sun
Bb majorBb FF
Darling it's my fate to follow on the run
Bb majorBb FF
But girl this running is not for me,
C7C7 FF
I would never run again if I were free.
C7C7
And here's just what I'd do,
FF
I would chain myself to you
C7C7 FF
I would never leave this room, if I was free
Bb majorBb FF
