CI won't let you down
A#I will not give you up
FGoCtta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around
GHeFaven knows I was just a young boy
CDi[F-C]dn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get myself happy
CmI think there's something you should know
D#I think it's time I told you so
A#There's something deep inside of me
FThere's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
CAlA#l we have to do now
FIs(C) take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
(A#)You&#C39;ve gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
GHeFaven knows we sure had some fun boy
CWh[F-C]at a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
CI think there's something you should know
D#I think it's time I stopped the show
A#There's something deep inside of me
FThere's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
CAlA#l we have to do now
FIs(C) take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
CmWell it looks like the road to heaven
D#But it feels like the road to hell
A#When I knew which side my bread was buttered
FI took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last
CmThat's what you get
D#I say that's what you get
A#ThaFt's what you get for changing your mind
And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man
CAlA#l we have to do now
FIs(C) take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
[C, Bb, F, C fading out]
I'll hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now
I've got to live
