C                 E7
You're free to go darling 
F                        C
I'll break the ties that bind  
G7                                        C
Somehow the dreams we planned have gone astray
G7             C   E7
You're free to go  darling 
   F                 C
So ease your worried mind 
           G7            C
I'll never stand in your way
 
           F               C
There's no ring or shining gold 
   G7                 C
So strong that it can hold
  D7                     G7
A heart that longs to be free
             C    E7
The lips are cold darling 
     F                C
That once said yes to me
                          G7
The tender glow is gone I know 
               C
You're free to go
