We were living in a fantasy [A/B] [B] [A/B] [B]
We [F#] won the race, got out of the place
[E] Went back home got a brand new face for the boys [A/B]
on MTV [B] [A/B] [B]
But to [F#] day the way I play the game has got to c
[E] change oh yeah Now I'm gonna get
myself happy [A/B] [B] [A/B] [B]
[Bm] I think there's something you should know
[Bmmaj7 - x24332] I think it's time I stopped the show
[Bm7] There's something deep inside of me
[Bm6 - 7x6777] There's someone I forgot to be
[Bm] Take back your picture in a frame
[Bmmaj7] Don't think that I'll be back
[Bm7] again . I just hope you understand

[Bm7] That's what you get for
[Bm6] changing your mind
[Bm] That's what you get. And after all this
[Bmmaj7] time I just hope you understand
[F#7] Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
[Chorus]
[B] All we have to [A] do now
Is [E] take these lies and make
[A/B] them [B] true somehow
[B] All we have to [A] see
Is that I [E] don't belong to you
And you don't [A/B] belong [B] to me
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take
