A
Can't you see I'm holding your flag

A
The one that you left on the ground

     Em7                         A
Well is the world too heavy for you

      Em7                          D
If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too

A
No one's gonna stand in your light

A
Impressions are easy to fight

      Em7                    A
But until you turn to me and say

          Em7             D
You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay

[Chorus]
Bm  A  E
Ab-il-ene

D                   A
Bring it on home to me

Bm  A  D
Ab-il-ene

Bm       D           A
Isn't it good to be free

A
Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt

A
The one with the heart on the sleeves

    Em7                           A
Now everyone can see you've been hurt

       Em7              D
Oh but honey don't give up on me

A
When you gonna make up your mind

A
When you gonna get out of bed

     Em7                    A
Well everyday you're gonna find

        Em7         D
Broken promises are no worse than words never said

[Bridge]
Bm  A  E
Ab-il-ene

D                   A
Bring it on home to me

Bm  A  D
Ab-il-ene

              C#m       Bm    E
You're always givin' it all away

         D               C#m            Bm        E
Then you want someone to come along and save the day

                          A
But you make it much too hard

[Verse]
Bm  A  E
Ab-il-ene

D                           A
You can bring it on home to me

Bm  A  D
Ab-il-ene, ooh

Bm  A  E
Ab-il-ene

D                   A
Bring it on home to me

Bm  A  D
Ab-il-ene

Bm       D           A
Isn't it good to be free
