| They aren't des | perate for love and affe | ction. |
| A | G | |
| No, they're desperate for | you. |
| C | |
| And as you sit | up there all sly and sure, |
| G | A | G | |
| I | wonder, does anyone think as st | rongly as you d | o? |
| C | G | |
| I'm quite sur | e we'll find one anoth | er, |
| A | |
| In a place that's | better then this, |
| G | |
| A time filled with us. |
| C | G | |
| And we | send up our shooting stars and co | mets. |
| A | |
| Yeah, we make our little | gestures. |
| G | |
| Yes, we make our little | comments. |
| (same chords for all song) |
| This song is my anthem, |
| And it makes up my ideals. |
| And who I am has benefited from all my cleverly planned meals, |
| All my cleverly planned meals. |
| I'm stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit. |
| So if I voice my opinion, will you stay and sit? |
| And as I stand here screaming in despair, |
| I said yes this is my life and yes you should care. |
| This song is my anthem, |
| (close your eyes) |
| And it makes up my ideals. |
| And who I am, |
| (and you'll free your mind) |
| Has benefited from all my cleverly planned meals. |
| (you're free to fly) |
| All my cleverly planned meals. |
| ( just say close your eyes) |
| (and I will free your mind, you're free to fly) |
| Hardly happy at all, |
| And I'm ready to take the fall. |
| 'Cause we pay for the stupid things we've done, we come from. |
| Can you sit through this or is it going to be too deep? |
| Will you ever use common sense? It comes pretty cheap. |
| So if I speak more clearly if I make more sense, |
| Will you just shut your mouth? You won't come across quite so dense. |
| And so close your eyes. |
| Free your mind, you're free to fly. |
| Close your eyes. |
| I free my mind, I'm free to fly. |
| I said close your eyes, |
| And may you free your mind. |
| You're free to fly. |
| I said close your eyes, |
| And may you free your mind. |
| You're free to fly. |
| She said close your eyes. |
| And free your mind, you're free to fly. |
| She said close your eyes. |
| Free your mind, free to fly. |
| Close your eyes. |
| Close your eyes. |
| I will free your mind, you're free to fly. |
| This song is my anthem, |
| And it makes up my ideals. |
| And who I am, |
| Has benefited from all my cleverly planned meals. |
| All my cleverly planned meals. |
