*NOTE* do not play E5 or High E until I say to, Its only after the Choruses but
after the Chorus when you switch into the verse its important to go back to a
regular E.
 
CAPO: 1
 
Intro: Its super short when the guitar comes in so you can mess
around with it and get it to your likings, But its just "E"
 
E D
I feel like the weight of the world is all - crashing down on me
C#m B
And some how I just don't believe this how - it is suppose to be
E D
And all this expectation on - the way I'm suppose to live
C#m B
Becomes my minds distraction - with nothing left to give
 
F#m B
You said your burden is light and your load - is no more
C#m B
You said your ways are right and in you I would soar
 
E A2
I want to be free - free to dance and free to sing
B
Free to live and love and free
E5 (high)
Oh, free to be me
 
E D
I feel like my heart is being beat - down into the ground
C#m B
In you I'm longing for some peace - to be found
E D
I know the heaviness that's - making me cold
C#m B
Is stealing my youthful soul and - making me old
 
F#m B
You said your burden is light and your load - is no more
C#m B
You said your ways are right and in you I would soar
 
E A2
I want to be free - free to dance and free to sing
B
Free to live and love and free
E5 (high)
Oh, free to be me
