C
Once I hoped
C7                      F
To seek the new and unknown.
      Fm           C
This planet’s overrun,
         D                F         C
There’s nothing left for you or for me.
D          Fm   F  G
Don’t give in, we can
C
Walk through the fields
     C7                F
And feeling nature’s glow
    Fm              C
But all the land is owned.
         D             F          C
There’s none left for you or for me.
D        Fm7
Who will win?
F         G  C   F
‘cause I concede.

Chorus:
  C
Free me
 Am
Free me
 Em                F
Free me from this world.
          Dm
I don’t belong here,
    G                E/G#        Am
It was a mistake imprisoning my soul.
          F
Can you free me,
G/B                C
Free me from this world.

A world lush in bloom
With rivers running wild
They'll be rerouted South
With none left for you or for me
Don't give in
And hear the engines roar
And save our crops from drought
And when the black gold's in doubt
There's none left for you or for me
Fuse Helium-3
Our last hope

Chorus:
Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?

Free me
I'll free you
Free us from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?

Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
(Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls)
Running around in circles
feeling caged by endless rules
Can you free me
Free me from this world?

Go to sleep
