[Intro]
C9 G C9 G x2
[Verse 1]
C9Imagine you're a Ggirl C9on ten mile Gstilts
C9You travel round the Gworld, C9taking it all Gin
EM9And you'll never touch the C9ground
EM9Is it a blessing or a C9curse
EM9And if you're too high to be C9found
Are you lost or just reDsus2hearsed
[Verse 2]
C9Got a heart that opens Gclear C9in this cool September Gdark
C9And it rests on treetop Gleaves
C9And it bursts its little Gsparks
EM9And sometimes it sings its C9songs
EM9And it lets its secrets ouC9t
EM9Except for one that sears insC9ide
That it cannot live withoDsus2ut
[Chorus]
C9But if I tell you Gwill you take it
C9Will you shine it up to Gme
C9Can you be strong Gto let me go on
C9And set this freedom Gfree
C9Set this freedom Gfree
C9 G x2
Oh, oh
[Verse 3]
C9The stars are out toGnight
C9Up here they're ripe to Ghold
C9I have learned what Gcomes C9to those who get too Gclose
EM9I'm no Icarus in fC9light
EM9And I'm old enough to kC9now
EM9That love is patient, but still unC9yielding
If you leave it long enough it lets you Dsus2go
[Chorus]
C9But if I tell you Gwill you take it
C9Will you shine it up to Gme
C9Can you be strong Gto let me go on
C9And set this freedom Gfree
C9Set this freedom Gfree
C9Oh, oGh
[Outro]
C9Set this freedom Gfree
C9Oh hey heyG
C9Ooh yeah G
