Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am]
[C][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]Lonely are the free
There ain't that many of them
[Am]they don't walk like you and me
They just [C]tumble in the breeze
Lighter than a feather
[Am]altogether separately
That's [C]how it's s'posed [F]to be
[Am]No matter where they wander
From post to in between,
From here to over yonder,
[C]There's no place for them to lean
[Am]Lonely are the free

[Verse 2]
[Am]The si[C]lent are the strong
Not so much as a whisper tells you
[Am]anything is [C]wrong
You've known all along
But you can't help but listen and [Am]now
the moment's [Dm]gone[Am]
[F]Keeps you hangin' on
Until the silence signalin'
The break[Am]in' of the dawn
Is shattered by the sirens singin'
[C]Sacrificial songs
Si[Am]lent are the strong

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][G]
[Am][A][C]
[G][Am]

[Verse 3]
That's [F]all there is to see
A violent shadow passin'
[G]Cross the sun [A]so [Am]fleetingly
That if you have to ask
You miss it [C]anyway you see
[Am]Lonely are the free

[Outro 1]
[Am][F][C][Am]
[A][C][Am]
[A][G]
