Lyrics

I (G)can’t real ly ex plain it; it’s I (G)have n’t got the words.

It’s a (Em)feel ing that you can’t as con as (A)trol.

I sup (Am)pose it’s like for get ting, (Em)los ing who you are, and at the (Cm7)same time, what some thing makes you (Dsus)whole.

It’s (Gm)like that there’s (Dm)mu sic (Eb)play ing in your (Bb)ear, and I’m (Gm)lis t’ning and I’m (Dm)lis t’ning, and (Eb)then I dis ap (Dsus)pear.

And (D)then I (Bb)feel a change me, like a (Gm)fire ing deep in side,

(Cm)some thing burst ing (Bb)me wide o pen, im (C)pos si ble to (F)hide.

And (Bb)sud den ly I’m fly ing, (Bb)fly ing like a bird, like e lec (Eb)tric i ty.

E lec tric (Ebm)i ty

sparks in (Bb)side of me,

and I’m free,

(F7)I’m

(Bb)free.

It’s a (G)bit like be ing an gry, it’s a (G)bit like be ing scared,

con a (Em)fused and all mixed up, as mad as (A)hell.

It’s sup (Am)like when you’ve been cry ing, (Em)emp ty, and you’re full, and but I (Cm7)don’t know what is; it’s hard to (Dsus)tell.

It’s (Gm)like that there’s (Dm)mu sic (Eb)play ing in your (Bb)ear, but the (Gm)mu sic is im (Dm)pos ble, im (Eb)pos si ble to (Dsus)hear.

But (D)then I (Bb)feel it move me, like a (Gm)burn ing deep in side,

(Cm)some thing burst ing (Bb)me wide o pen, im (C)pos si ble to (F)hide.

And (Bb)sud den ly I’m fly ing, (Bb)fly ing like a bird, like e lec (Eb)tric i ty.

E lec tric (Ebm)i ty

sparks in (Bb)side of me,

and I’m free,

(F7)I’m

(Bb)free.

It’s a (Bb)side of me,

and I’m free,

(F7)I’m

(Em)free,

(C)free,

(D)I’m (G)free.
