Em                      D
It's time to tell white lies
                  Am
Time to feed your confidence
F
In yourself
                      Em
It's time to make you fly

                      D
It's time to hold you down
               Am
Show the ropes around your life
   F               G
So you can take control


[Chorus]
G                D                          F
Yes, you will be free, once you know what's good for thee
                C            D                 G
But tonight you really need a little less understanding
                   D                           F
I know how it must feel, you're like a younger version of me


[Verse 2]
Em            D
I don't wanna build
                        Am
The enslaving bridge of vanities
F         G  F
Amenities

F#m                E
To lose you to the game
                 Bm
That only values glitter and fame
  G
A foundation that is frail




[Chorus]
G                D                          F
Yes, you will be free, once you know what's good for thee
                C            D                 G
But tonight you really need a little less understanding
                   D                           F
I know how it must feel, you're like a younger version of me

A                E                            G
Yes, you will be free, you will decide what's good for thee
                     D               E                 A
But like we all, you sometimes need a little less understanding
                  E                           G
I, I know how you feel, you're like a younger version of me

[Bridge]
B                         E      B
I can feel the wrath of a cryin' child
                                    E
As you crash the gates of your tiny life,
             G                  A
For the very first time in your life,
          E
You would rather chew off your own tail

B                         E         B
What you really want isn't what you need
                                    E
Maybe one is enough, I'll feed your need
                B
I only want the best for you
     A
Your prison's like a mansion with a view

[Solo]
G    D    F    C  D  G    D    F


[Chorus]
A                E                          G
Yes, you will be free, once you know what's good for thee
                D            E                 A
But tonight you really need a little less understanding
                   E                           G
I know how it must feel, you're like a younger version of me

A                E                            G
Yes, you will be free, you will decide what's good for thee
                     D               E                 A
But like we all, you sometimes need a little less understanding
                  E                           G
I, I know how you feel, you're like a younger version of me

B                F#                         A
Yes, you will be free to choose the walk of life you believe
               E                   F#               B
Gives you everything you need, and little more understanding
                     F#                     A
I, The windowpane of life, you only see the stains in the sunlight
