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

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
