  I wish I could break, all the chains holding me

    Ab                      Eb7
  Remove all the bars, that keep us apart

    Ab   C7        Cm7/F        C#/Eb   Eb7   Ab 
  I wish you knew, how it would feel    to be me

  How sweet it would be if I found I could fly

      Ab   C7     Cm7/F        C#/Eb  Eb7    Ab
  I'd soar to the sun and look down  at the sea
