If I Were Free

F
If I were free, what I would do
    Bb                            F
I'd run and lock myself away with you
           Bb           F
And turn a ring, into a key
      C7
Oh, I know that's what I'd do,
          F
if I were free

Bb F

F
If I were strong, I would be so mild
           Bb                               F
I would be strong enough to love you like a child
               Bb          F
I would turn a cry, into a song
      C7
Oh, I know that's what I would do,
          F
if I were strong

          Bb                 F
If I were wise, then I would see
     C7                                F
What makes you love a foolish man like me?
Bb  C     Bb F    Bb          F Bb F
I'd stand by you, just like a tree
      C7
Oh, I know that's what I would do,
        F
I would chain myself to you
  C7                                     F
I would never leave this room, if I were free

Bb F

F
A line of birds, across the sun
        Bb                            F
Darling it's my fate to follow on the run
              Bb                 F
But girl this running is not for me,
        C7                        F
I would never run again if I were free.
    C7
And here's just what I'd do,
        F
I would chain myself to you

        C7                              F
I would never leave this room, if I was free
