C
I won't let you down
Bb
I will not give you up
F                            C
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around

G                         F
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
                             C    F-C
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get myself happy

Cm
I think there's something you should know
Eb
I think it's time I told you so
Bb
There's something deep inside of me
F
There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

C               Bb
All we have to do now
   F                   (C)
Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
             (Bb)              C
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

G                             F
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
                             C   F-C
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy

C
I think there's something you should know
Eb
I think it's time I stopped the show
Bb
There's something deep inside of me
F
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

C              Bb
All we have to do now
   F                   (C)
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

        Cm
Well it looks like the road to heaven
       Eb
But it feels like the road to hell
       Bb
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
F
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last

Cm
That's what you get
Eb
I say that's what you get
Bb                      F
That's what you get for changing your mind

And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man

C              Bb
All we have to do now
   F                   (C)
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

[C, Bb, F, C fading out]

I'll hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now
I've got to live
