[Intro]
A Bm
D A G
D A G

[Verse 1]
Bm
Now I must go to a place I do not know
A                                                          Bm
Where the moon has lost its glow and the stars don’t shine no more
Bm
Safe from the cold, it’s the place where I’ll grow old
D                             A               G
But I’m alone inside this hopeless misery
D                             A               G
I’m alone until you set this spirit free

[Chorus]
G               A               D     A               G
Free, like the wind above the trees
A                             D                             A
And the waves that crash in the sea
G         A               D
I’ll return one day
A                                           G
With the light upon my face
A                             D               A               Bm
And the moon and stars will all sing to me

[Verse 2]
Bm
You led me here as you kept my body near
A                                                                                   Bm
And I followed you for fear that you’d vanish right before my very eyes

Silence and cold, and despite what I was told
D                             A               G
I’m alone inside this hopeless misery
D                             A                             G
I’m alone until you set this spirit free

G               A               D               A     G
Free, like the wind above the trees
A               D               A
And the waves that crash in the sea
G               A               D
I’ll return one day
A               G
With the light upon my face
A                             D               A               Bm
And the moon and stars will all sing to me
