(Intro)

[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]

(Verse 1)

I [G#]wish [C7]I knew [Cm7/F]how, it would [C#/D#]feel [D#7]to be [G#]free

I [G#]wish I could break, all the [D#7]chains holding me

I [G#]wish [C7]I could [Cm7/F]see, every[C#/D#]thing I [D#7]had to [G#]see

Sing it [G#]loud, [C7] sing it [Cm7/F]clear, for the [D#7]whole round [D#9]world to [G#]hear


(Verse 2)

I [G#]wish [C7]I could [Cm7/F]share, all the [C#/D#]love that's [D#7]in my [G#]heart

Re[G#]move all the bars, that [D#7]keep us apart

I [G#]wish [C7]you knew, [Cm7/F]how it would [C#/D#]feel [D#7]to be [G#]me

Then you'd [G#]see, [C7] and [Cm7/F]agree, every[D#7]one [D#9]should be [G#]free


(Guitar Solo)

[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F] [C#/D#] [D#7] [G#]

[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F] [C#/D#] [D#7] [G#]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F] [D#7] [D#9] [G#]

(Verse 3)

I [G#]wish [C7]I could [Cm7/F]give, all I'm [C#/D#]long---[D#7]ing to [G#]give

I [G#]wish I could live, like I'm [D#7]longing to live

I [G#]wish [C7]I could [Cm7/F]do every[C#/D#]thing that [D#7]I could [G#]do

Though I'm [G#]way [C7] over[Cm7/F]due, I'd be [D#7]start--[D#9]ing [G#]new


(Verse 4)

I [G#]wish [C7]I could [Cm7/F]be like a [C#/D#]bird [D#7]in the [G#]sky

How [G#]sweet it would be if I [D#7]found I could fly

I'd [G#]soar [C7]to the [Cm7/F]sun and look [C#/D#]down a[D#7]t the s[G#]ea

And I'd [G#]sing, [C7] cause I [Cm7/F]know echo and repeated


(Guitar Solo 2)

[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]

[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]
[G#] [C7] [Cm7/F]

(Outro)

[G#] I sing be[C7]cause I [Cm7/F]know

[G#] I sing be[C7]cause I [Cm7/F]know

[G#] I sing be[C7]cause I [Cm7/F]know

Every[D#7]one [D#9]should be [G#]free.
