          C              Em
I walk beside, I walk beside myself
    F                          C
To see what's left of you and me
              Em
And what it means
                 Am
Sometimes we're lost
                 Em
Get caught up in senseless
                      F
things for nothing at all
                C Em
So don't let it in

Chorus:
            F
We can be free if we want it
               G
Or we can stay in this lane all alone
              F
Just say the word and I'm on it
               G
The past is receding so we can move on

I didn't decide
I love you despite myself
You pulled me out of who I'd been, know what I mean?
I'm not a saint
I've got no faith to lose, only to gain
At least I can dream

Chorus:
            F
We can be free if we want it
               G
Or we can stay in this lane all alone
             Dm
Just say the word and I'm on it
              Em
The past is receding so we can move on

            F         G     Am C Dm
We can be free if we want it
       C         F          G     Am C Dm
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
       C         F          G     Am C Dm
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
       C         F          G     Am C Dm
Yeah, we can be free if we want it

          C             Em
I walk beside, I walk beside myself
    F                          C
To see what's left of you and me
             Em
And what it means
             Am
If it goes wrong
        Em                         F
I'll reassure myself, I knew all along
                 C           Em
At least it was real, it was real

We can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going)
(Don't look back, keep going)
