[Verse 1]
          C
There's a tongue in my mouth, there's a lock on the door
    Am
and I can't imagine wishing for more
     F                           C
I've paid for my crimes and I've unlied my lies
    G
And now I'm adorned with a clever disguise

[Chorus]
    F  G      Am
I'm free as a bird
    F  G         Am
I'm free from my words

[Verse 2]
C
There is a pill I've been meaning to swallow
         Am
and it's shaped like a record that I'd love to borrow
    F                         C
and covered in shit I've been meaning to wallow in
    G
and I don't know where I'll be tomorrow

[Chorus]
    F  G      Am
I'm free as a bird
    F  G         Am
I'm free from my words
    F  G      C           C/B       Am
I'm free as a bird flying over the sea
     G                 F    Fm   C
Just can't find the summer

[Verse 3]
             C
If there's a God in the sky or a devil below
Am
That doesn't matter to me
      F                       C
Cus I see Satan's face when I look in the mirror
      G
I see God inside of all of the people I meet

[Chorus]
     F  G      Am
I am free as a bird
    F  G         Am
I'm free from my words
    F  G      C             C/B             Am
I'm free as a man who's out wandering the streets
G               F    Fm   C
looking for shelter
