Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                   D             G
If you hear a voice call out your name

            Cadd9    G/B  G/A  G
Say you can stop yourself from falling

G                     D               G
And if he strikes you in his fear and shame

        Cadd9     G/B G/A G
You can leave him to  his ruin
[Verse 2]
G                            D      G
If your dreams they wake you in the night

        Cadd9 G/B G/A  G
And your heart it is a pounding

G                     D            G
If you cry out as you wake in your fright

       Cadd9    G/B G/A G
And the wind it is  a   howling
[Chorus]
Em7                     Cadd9   G
Maybe it's time to find another place

Em7               Am         D
Where nobody even knows your face

Em7                 Cadd9 G
There is no need to be  afraid

        Cadd9 G/B G/A G
For its only  freedom calling
[Bridge] G D G Cadd9 G/B G/A G G D G Cadd9 G/B G/A G [Chorus]
G                      D   G
If your tears begin to overflow

       Cadd9   G/B  G/A G
As you walk against the undertow

G                   D   G
There is no need to be afraid

       Cadd9 G/B G/A  G
For its only freedom calling
[Verse 3]
G                           D    G
If you're sad 'cause you're all alone

         Cadd9       G/B G/A  G
And your hands they  are a   shaking

G                           D          G
And your miracle cure's not working anymore

        Cadd9        G/B   G/A G
And the flood bank's close to  breaking
[Chorus]
Em7                   Cadd9        G
Suddenly you're on an open unknown road

Em7                    Am        D
Passing all the heavy, long wide loads

Em7                     Cadd9  G
It is time to make your great escape

            Cadd9     G/B G/A G
And you can hear your freedom calling
[Verse 4]
G                       D      G
I want to dive into the sea of love

       Cadd9      G/B G/A G
But my knees they are  a  quaking

G                     D   G
I can see myself high up above

            Cadd9   G/B G/A  G
And there's no time left for faking
[Chorus]
Em7                 Cadd9    G
I no longer need to understand

Em7                 Am   D
What it is to truly be a man

Em7                       Cadd9 G
Only when I gave up on my masterplan

      Cadd9     G/B G/A  G
Did I then hear freedom calling

      Cadd9     G/B G/A  G
Did I then hear freedom calling
[Outro] Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G/B G/A G
