[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C][Csus2][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Csus2]Took a look at my m[C]oth[Em]er
[Csus2]Had to look [G]at my
father [C]too
[Csus2]They love[C] me like[G] no other[Em]
[C]It [G]was
December [C]22
[Dsus4]Said, gir[C]l,[D]
[Am]don't you wanna [C]be free?
[Em]Don't you wanna [C]be free?
My eyes, [Am]as they l[C]ooked up to th[G]em,
they were looking at [D]me[Dsus4][D]
I grew [G]up by the wa[Em]ter[C]
Weightless by their [G]guiding [C]hands
Then they turned on each [Em]other[C]
I was too young to un
[G]derstand[C][Csus2]
[C]They [Am]said, girl, I just wanna be [G]free,
I just wanna [C]be free
My [Am]eye s, they were searching for [G]them,
they were looking at [D]me
[G]I don't really k[D]now how to s[Am]leep at night
So [G]I'm in the [D]hour of the [Am]still moonlight
[G]They say [D]everything's
gonna [Am]be alright
But you gotta be[D]lieve,
you gotta [Em]believe[C][G][C]
One day [G]I'll be a [Em]mother
[C]If [Csus2]I'm given[C]
[G]the [C]latitude
[Csus2]Maybe I'll have[C] a daughte[G]r[Em]
May[C]be [Csus2]things will be[C]
un[G]derstood[C]
[Csus2]I say, gi[C]rl,[Am]
[Asus4]you were born to be free
[G]You were born to be [C]free
As my [Am]eye s,
they were [Asus4]looking to h[G]ers
And forget what it [D]means
[G]I don't really k[D]now how to s[Am]leep at night
[G]So I'm in the [D]eye of the
[Am]still moon light
[G]They say [D]everything's
gonna [Am]be alright
You just gotta be[D]lieve

[Outro 1]
You gotta believe
