 Bm     G               A         Bm
Tied,   caught in the braces of reason
   G           A             Bm
   Twisting my ends as I see them
G           A        Bm   G  A
Living for somebody else

Bm      G              A         Bm
Well I kicked and I cried and I screamed out
    G               A         Bm
   But now I'm the one who' s been left out
G           A        Bm   G  A
Living for somebody else.

[Chorus]
D              Asus         G
I try to look beyond it all
    G
    But everyday inside I fall
D           Asus          G
Why can't I set my sails free
D           Asus                      G
My ship was meant to sail the seas
G                                      Em
     With no one making waves but me
                           G (tacet)                  Bm  G    A
Why can't I set my sails free          Set sails free

[Verse]
 Bm        G               A           Bm
Thoughts, repressed, distressed and abandoned
   G               A           Bm
   Hopes from the past never landing
G               A           Bm    G     A
Living for somebody else

Bm          G              A         Bm
Well I - can break the mistakes and affliction
   G                 A             Bm
   'cause making it through is my addiction
G               A           Bm    G     A
Living for somebody else

[Chorus]
D              Asus         G
I try to look beyond it all
    G
    But everyday inside I fall
D           Asus          G
Why can't I set my sails free
D           Asus                      G
My ship was meant to sail the seas
G                                      Em
     With no one making waves but me
                           G (tacet)                  Bm
Why can't I set my sails free          Set sails free

 Bm                        G               A           Bm    G     A
Too many times I've been locked out in the cold
   Bm                        G             A          Bm    G     A
   Stuck in the dark with my tongue ripped out and sold
Bm                        G               A           Bm    G     A
Too many times I've been pushed out in the rain
   Bm                      G             A           Bm    G     A
   Stuck with the men who lost what they had in vain
Bm              G           A
I'm sick —      sick in the heart
Bm              G           A
I'm sick —      sick in the heart
Bm              G           A
I'm sick —      sick in the heart
Bm              G           A
I'm sick —      sick in the heart

Why can't I set my sails free
