Verse 1:
D#5
It started out when I was just
a young kid
B5
No matter what I did
I couldn't get enough of it
D#5
I was a broken one, a trigger
On a loaded gun
B5
I could show you my scars
And how to get some
Pre Chorus:
B5
I've never been one to fight
Fair on my own
C#5
But this has taken me down,
C#5 B5 G#5 F#5
Now I can't get home
[Refrão] D#5
I've been a dark horse
Running for way too long
B5
Chasing down dreams
Where I don't belong
F#5
And I could try
For the rest of my life
G#5
To give up everything
B5 C#5 B5
While I beg to die
D#5
I've been a wild one
Playing for way too long
B5
In and outta games where
I've never belonged
F#5
So tell me what it means
G#5
Can anybody tell me what it
C#5 F#5
Means to be Free
