Lyrics

Set me free, why (Em)don’t you, ba by?

Get out my life, why (F)don’t you, (Am)ba by?

’Cause you don’t real ly (Em)love me.

You just (Em7)keep me hang in’ on.

You don’t real ly (Em)need me, but you (Em7)keep me hang in’ on.

Why do you keep a com in’ a round

(F)play ing with my (C)heart?

Why don’t you get out of my life

and let me make a new (C)start?

Let me get o ver you the (E)way you’ve got ten o ver me.

You say al though we broke up you (F)still wan na be just (C)friends.

But how can we still be friends when (F)see ing you on ly breaks my (A)heart a gain?

Set me free, why (Em)don’t you ba by?

Get out my life, why (F)don’t you ba by?

Set me free, why (Em)don’t you ba by?

Get out my life, why (F)don’t you ba by?

You claim you still care a bout me but your (F)heart and soul needs to be free.

Now that you’ve got your free dom you (F)wan na still hold on to (C)me.

You don’t want me for your self so (E)let me find some bod y else.

Why don’t you be a (Em)man a bout it and set me free?

Now you don’t care a (Em)thing a bout me.

You’re just us ing me.

(Am)Boy, get out, get out of my life

and let me sleep at night.

’Cause you don’t real ly (Em)love me, you just (Em7)keep me hang in’ on.

’Cause you don’t real ly (Am)need me, so let me be,

set me (Am)free.
