VERSE 1:
[E] I was born[C#m] as a free [E]man[A]
[E]And now I'm tied[C#m] to the mast[E][A]
[E] Like the strings[C#m] of an old gui[E]tar
Bent [A]out of [E]tune too f[B]ar
(Same chord structure as above + lead below)
Now as your temperature rises
As I baulk on the flames
As I come to devices
I hear the words that you say
The lead starts in the second part of the verse:
Repeat this (the picking varies a bit)

VERSE 2:
(Same chords as VERSE 1)
Now I'm the ghost of a thousand
Now I'm a million years

You [B]say that love will free me
You say it just to see me give up
