[Verse 1]
C
There's a tongue in my mouth, there's a lock on the door
Am
and I can't imagine wishing for more
F C
I've paid for my crimes and I've unlied my lies
G
And now I'm adorned with a clever disguise
[Chorus]
F G Am
I'm free as a bird
F G Am
I'm free from my words
[Verse 2]
C
There is a pill I've been meaning to swallow
Am
and it's shaped like a record that I'd love to borrow
F C
and covered in shit I've been meaning to wallow in
G
and I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
[Chorus]
F G Am
I'm free as a bird
F G Am
I'm free from my words
F G C C/B Am
I'm free as a bird flying over the sea
G F Fm C
Just can't find the summer
[Verse 3]
C
If there's a God in the sky or a devil below
Am
That doesn't matter to me
F C
Cus I see Satan's face when I look in the mirror
G
I see God inside of all of the people I meet
[Chorus]
F G Am
I am free as a bird
F G Am
I'm free from my words
F G C C/B Am
I'm free as a man who's out wandering the streets
G F Fm C
looking for shelter
