freedom—freedom you want—you want to have—

Am
to have comes at—comes at a cost—

now I’m condemned to hell, now I’m condemned to hell

Am           Em         F                       Dm
climb to the top of the statue of freedom from gravity

and you’re at liberty to

Am            Em         F             C    Dm
jump from the top of the absence of responsibility

Am  F     G         C
and float into the emptiness

C          F        C            G
no leg on which to, on which to stand

C         F         C       G
abandoned by every, every friend

C          Bb    F               Dm
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule

G                    F                          C
I’ve got no one, no one else, no one else to blame

F
I’ll lay me down—down in the dark—the dark and sad

D
sad empty room—room at the end

Am
the end of the—hallway the

C               D                     G
hall—way at the end—way at the end of time

C            F         C            G
everything’s wrecked, everything is wrecked

C            F         C               G
smashed up, destroyed, smashed up and destroyed
