I won’t let you down; I will not give you up, got to have some faith in the sound.

So please don’t give me up,

yeah.

Heav en knows I was just a (F)young boy, did n’t know what I want ed to be,

I was ev ’ry lit tle hun gry school girl’s pride and joy, and I guess it was e nough for me.

To (G)win the race, a pret ti er face, brand new clothes and a big fat place on your (F)rock and roll (C)T V.

But to (G)day the way you play the game is not the same, no way.

Think I’m gon na get me (F)some hap py.

I think there’s some thing you should know.

I think it’s time I told you so.

There’s some thing deep in side of me.

There’s some one else I’ve got to be.

Take back your pic ture in a frame.

Take back your “Sing ing In The Rain.” (Cm7)I just hope you’ll un der stand some times the clothes do not make the man.

(C)All we have to do now

is to (F)take these lies

and (C)make them true some how.

All we have to see

is that I (F)don’t be long to you and you (C)don’t be long to me, yeah, yeah.

Well, it looks

Well, it looks like the road to heav en, but it feels like the road to hell.

But I knew which side my bread was but tered and I took the knife as well.

Pos ing for an oth er pic ture, ev ’ry bod y’s got to sell.

But when you (Cm7)shake your ass, they no tice fast that (Cm6)some of your mis takes were built to last.

That’s what you get,

that’s what you get.

I say that’s what you get for chang ing your mind.

That’s what you get,

and af ter all this time, (Cm7)I just hope you un der stand some times the clothes do not make the man.

(C)Free dom, I (G7)won’t let you down.

(C)Free dom, I (G7)won’t let you down.

(Bb)Free dom, I will not give you up.

(F)Free dom,

you got to (Bb)give for what you (C)take.

About “Freedom '90

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Freedom '90"?

You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
