Intro: Bm E D9 A/C#
Bm E
And when you wanted me
D9 A/C#
I came to you
Bm E D9
And when you wanted someone else
A/C#
I withdrew
Bm E D9
And when you asked for light
A/C#
I set myself on fire
Bm E D9
And if I go far away I know
A/C#
You'll find another slave
Bm F# E D9
Cause now I'm free from what you want
Bm F# E D9
Now I'm free from what you need
Bm F# E D9 (F# F E D C# Bm)
Now I'm free from what you are
(Bm E D9 A/C#)
And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go, far away
I know you'll find another slave
Bm F# E D9)
Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are
( F# F E D C# Bm )
Then a vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more
