If You Love Somebody Set Them Free – STING 

Dm* (000765) 
C* (000553)

Dm* 		C* 		Am 		G
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

(Chorus)
Bm7-Bm
If you love somebody
G7-G
If you love someone 
Bm7-Bm
If you love somebody 
G7-G		Am
If you love someone 
Dm* C* Am G 
set them free

If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

(Chorus)

(bridge)
Fsus4 		F 			C 		 
You can't control an independent heart
Fsus4 		F 			C		 
Can't tear the one you love apart
Gm7				Fsus4 			F 			 
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
C					C7 
We can't live here and be happy with less
Gm7			Fsus4 	F 			 
So many riches, so many souls
C 				C7 
Everything we see we want to possess

Dm* 		C* 		Am 		G
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

(Chorus)
