G C9
Hold on
G
Head-strong lady
C9
I've been gone
G
For a few short years
C9
But my song
G
Has you threaded through
C9
For too long
G
Unsure what to do
C9
So I write it in a letter
G
And I bleed on the page
C9
Then I start to get better
G
Burn a little sage
C9
It's a complicated matter
G
But at this day in age
C9
I'm tired of playing games
Am
So I'll just come out and say it
C
Break free
G
My lady
D Am
Come live here with me
C
If insight
G
Serves me right
D Am
Then it's time that you by my side
( Am Am G4/C C )
G ( C9 G C9 G )
Want you by my side
C9
I've seen many places
G
Fine women and wine
C9
But through the course of my days
G
It's often yours on my mind
C9
And it hurts me so
G
To see you so intertwined
C9 Am
For that man you're with is gonna' make you lose your mind!

Break free

My lady

Want you by my side
C9
We could drink a bit of whisky
G
Want you by my side
C9
We could go see a movie
G
Want you by my side
C9
Get freaky in the back seat
G
Want you by my side
C9
When I'm brushing my teeth
G
Want you by my side
C9
Would you like a cup of tea

Want you by my side

When I wake up in the morning in the middle of the night
