[First Part]

Riff 1
Get your sweets from the candy man

Get your truth from the shelf

Don't buy into the fairy tale

Just be good to yourself

'Cause you know that I love you, 
girl

You're my way out of hell

But I've just one more song to sing

One more story to tell

( Riff 1 )

[Second Part]

Riff 1
When I'm tired of the bright lights

When I'm tired of the wine

I'll go down to New Mexico

Continues after the ad
To the depths of the mind

When I'm forty years older

When I'm wrinkled and wise

I will trade all my liberty

For that look in your eyes

F            C
Reason gonna blind you
F              C
Cripple and confine you
F             C         Em
Listen as you pull hard breaks
F               C
Take a trip to America
F                       C
Let the wind blow right through your
 hair
F                       C
We'll buy beer and some hope to 
share
       Em  F
Every day

[Chorus]

       C       Bb
'Cause freedom
            Am    F
Is no small thing
              C
We punish the child
               Bb
For flying too high
                      Riff 2
For rushing like the wind

[Bridge]

F            C
Reason gonna blind you
F              C
Cripple and confine you
F             C         Em
Listen as you pull hard breaks

Stars are like the baggage we carry 
across the sky
         F
And then no one's gonna change who 
we are

[Chorus]

       C       Bb
'Cause freedom
            Am    F
Is no small thing
              C
We punish the child
               Bb
For flying too high
                      Riff 2
For rushing like the wind

[Outro] Am
