Lyrics

A hard knock; a cold clock (G)tick ing off my time. A long look, but no luck; (G)could n’t seem to find (D)or un wind in to peace of mind, though I was try ing. A quick glance; a big chance, my (G)heart beat like a drum. I saw you, and I knew chanc es just don’t (D)come ’round a gain, not like this. First a laugh, and then the kiss. But And I’m (D)free in you. I got no (D)wor ries on my (Em7)mind; I know what to do: that’s to treat you right and love you kind. (D)“Thank you” ev er on my mind. (E11)Love is just like breath ing when it’s true. And I’m (Gsus)free (Bm7)in you. The lost time, the self crime, my (G)heart my big mis takes. The clear voice of bad choice sound ing like an (D)ache in my day; not too bad, but too real to go a way. But now I’m (D)free in you. I got no (D)wor ries on my (Em7)mind; I know what to do: that’s to treat you right and love you kind. (D)“Thank you” ev er on my mind. (E11)Love is just like breath ing when it’s true. And I’m (Gsus)free (Bm7)in you. (Gsus)free (Bm7)in you. And (E7)I don’t know (Gm)how you show such (D)gen tle dis re gard for the (E7)ug ly in me (Gm)that I see, that for so long I took so hard. But I tru ly be lieve that you see the best in me. I’m e nough for your love, and the thought, it sets me (Asus)free in you. Got no (D)wor ries on my (Em7)mind; I know what to do: that’s to treat you right and love you kind. (D)Thank you ev er on my mind. (E11)Love is just like breath ing when it’s true. And I’m (Gsus)free (D)in you. Yes, I’m (Gsus)free (D)in you.
