[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][Am][C][F][C][G][Am][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Oh,
I was free to [G]live and love and [Am]kill as [C]I saw f[F]it
I [C]was at peace, I [G]really was,
no [Am]one I w[C]as at [D]war with
The [G]only common [Abdim]good was [E]that[F] we unde[F#dim]rstood
that [G]laws unjust were [Abdim]only good for brea[Am]king
That [Bb]difference legal[G]ized instead
of [C]sameness left nobody [F]free
But that was [C]the day before I married my con[G]science to

[Interlude 1]
the state
[Am][G][C][Dbdim][F][G][F][Am][G][C][Dbdim][F]

[Verse 2]
My [C]taxes paid these [G]road we laid
to [Am]places [G]of my [F]choosing
There [C]were no eyes up [G]in the skies
looking [Am]down into my [D]bed
There [G]was no govern[Abdim]ment[E][Abaug]
[F]without our con[F#dim]sent[F#]
[F#dim]And keys [G]were made for
[Abdim]anyone who just cl[F]aimed it[Am]
And [Bb]glass was all of [G]every [Bdim]wall that
[C]framed it from sea to shining [F]sea
But that was [C]the day before I married my con[G]science to the state
[Am][G]

[Interlude 2]
[C][Dbdim][F][G][F][Am][G][C][Dbdim][F][G][F][Am]

[Verse 3]
Right [Am]and wrong were written on my [D]heart and
not just in the laws that condemned [Am]me
But now with Caesar [F]sat[Am]is fi[D]ed I can

[Outro 1]
even do the things that should offend me
[F]
