If I were free, what I would do 
    Bb                            F
I'd run and lock myself away with you 
           Bb           F
And turn a ring, into a key 
      C7                 
Oh, I know that's what I'd do, 
          F 
if I were free 

Bb F

F       
If I were strong, I would be so mild 
           Bb                               F
I would be strong enough to love you like a child 
               Bb          F
I would turn a cry, into a song 
      C7         
Oh, I know that's what I would do, 
          F
if I were strong 

          Bb                 F
If I were wise, then I would see 
     C7                                F
What makes you love a foolish man like me?
Bb  C     Bb F    Bb          F Bb F               
I'd stand by you, just like a tree 
      C7    
Oh, I know that's what I would do, 
        F 
I would chain myself to you 
  C7                                     F
I would never leave this room, if I were free 

Bb F

F
A line of birds, across the sun 
        Bb                            F
Darling it's my fate to follow on the run 
              Bb                 F
But girl this running is not for me, 
        C7                        F
I would never run again if I were free. 
    C7
And here's just what I'd do, 
        F
I would chain myself to you 

        C7                              F
I would never leave this room, if I was free
