[C#]
If I were free, what I would do, I'd run and lock myself away with you, and turn [F#] a ring into [C#] a key.
[G#] Oh, I know that's what I would do if [C#] I were free.
If I were strong, I would be so mild, I'd [F#] be strong enough to love you [C#] like a child.
I'd turn [F#] a cry into [C#] a song.
[G#] Oh, I know that's what I would do if [C#] I were strong.
If I [F#] were wise, then [C#] I would see [G#] what makes you love a foolish man like me.
I'd stand [C#] by you [F#]
just like a tree.
[C#] [G#] Oh, I know that's what I would do.
[C#] I would chain myself to you.
[G#] I would never leave this room [C#] if I were free.
A line of birds across the sun.
[F#] Darling, it's my fate to follow [C#] on the run.
But [F#] girl, this running is not [C#] for me.
[G#] I would never run again [C#] if I were free.
[G#] And here's just what I would do.
[C#] I would chain myself to you.
[G#] I would never leave this room [C#] if I were free.
