[Verse 1]
  C                             Bb
There is a wall that has been standing
           F             C
Since the day that Adam fell
                   Bb
Sin is where it started
     F             C
And sin is why it held
                  Bb
Speaking as a prisoner
          F                 C
Who was there and lived to tell
    F                    Bb/D  F
I remember how it felt.

[Verse 2]

          C                 Bb
I could hear the sound of freedom
          F               C
Like a distant voice it called,
                      Bb
And beckoned me to follow
      F            C
Where I had never gone
                         Bb
And though my heart is willing
         F                 C
I just stood there at the wall
           F                   Bb/D  F
Praying somehow it would fall.

[Pre-chorus]
          Am
But in a cross I found a doorway
       F
In a hand that held the keys.
 Am
When the chains fell at my feet
          F                     Bb
For the first time I could see.


[Chorus]

 C                          Am
This is how it feels to be free.
                  F
This is what it means to know that
G      G/B
I am forgiven.
 C                          Am
This is how it feels to be free,
              F                        Gsus4
To see that life can be more than I imagined
                Bb
This is how it feels to be free
                 C          F     C
This is how it feels to be free, yeah.


[Verse 3]

           C               Bb
There are days when I'm reminded
         F           C
Of the prison I was in
                . Bb
Like a living nightmare
   F            C
Burnin’ from within
                         Bb
I can feel the voice of evil
       F                C
I can hear the call of sin
       F                   Bb/D  F
But I won't go back again.

 [Pre-chorus]
Am
See, once I've tasted freedom
          F
Then the walls could bind no more
 Am
Since mercy gave me wings to fly
         F           Bb
Like an eagle I can soar.

[Chorus]
 C                          Am
This is how it feels to be free.
                  F
This is what it means to know that
G      G/B
I am forgiven.
 C                          Am
This is how it feels to be free,
              F                        Gsus4
To see that life can be more than I imagined
                Bb
This is how it feels to be free
                 C          F     C
This is how it feels to be free, yeah.

[Bridge]
  Eb
Somewhere there's a prison
            F
Where the chains still bind
Cm/G
There but for the grace of God
       F/A
Those walls could still be mine
Ab                                Bb  C
So for all the captives, I say...

*Key Change*
