[Intro] Gm [Verse 1]
Gm                 F                 Eb
Oh I know they say someday time will show me

          D        Gm        F       Eb       D
How to be so cool, someday

Gm                           F
   But what about right now?

                       Eb                               D
Please someone tell me... what do I do while I'm waiting

             Gm  F  Eb      D
Waiting to be so... so cool, someday

Eb                   F
I know I'm not alone

Eb                      F
You know just how I feel

  Gm                        Eb         Cm           F
We both know the rules, but who really knows how to play this game?

Eb                 F
No one will always win

Eb                   F
Good losers hide the pain

         Gm                 Eb          Cm           F
They say everything's fine, no one will hear them complain
[Verse 2]
      Gm                 Dm
But behind those smiles, so much purple rain

      C                  Eb                         D
It's a wonder anybody ever comes out sane, but they do

                 Gm       F     C     D
And freedom it's all up to you

         Gm                          Dm
When you're by yourself you get that silent noise

C                        Eb                           D
Inside your mind, all the party boys trying to fill up all the empty holes

             Gm      F      C      D
Don't let one, be her soul
[Chorus]
Gm    Eb   F
 Freedom, now you're on your own

Gm  Eb                F
 Freedom, or does it really mean you're just all alone

Gm    Eb           F
 Freedom, either way it's gonna take you home

       Gm    F   Eb
It just takes you by the hand and says

        D
Now it's time to grow
[Verse 3]
Gm                         Dm
 So my friend you're gonna be alright

               C                               Eb                D
Seems like it's all uphill, but then that's the only way to get high

             Gm           F      C      D
Someday your soul is gonna fly

Gm                                  Dm
 But don't look back 'cause that's a waste of time

    C                              Eb
And right now's the time for you to look inside

           D           Gm             F       C       D
And you'll see love, oh love has never gone away, no
[Chorus]
Gm    Eb            F
 Freedom, I've been standing still so long

Gm    Eb    F
 Freedom, I almost forgot you had a song

Gm    Eb             F
 Freedom, shine your light and let us begin

    Gm        F           Eb              D
 Just take me in your arms... I want to be free again
[Outro] Gm F D Eb Gm F x7
