[C] [Am] [F]Something always brings me [G]back to you. [C]It never takes [Am]too long. [F]No matter what I [G]say or do [C]I’ll still feel you here ’til the [Am]moment I’m gone. [F]You hold me [G]without touch. [C]You keep me [Am]without chains. [F]I never wanted [G]anything so much than to [C]drown in your love And not [Am]feel your rain.

Set [F]me free, [G]leave me be. I don’t want to [C]fall another moment into your [Am]gravity. Here [F]I am and I [G]stand so [C]tall, just the way I’m supposed [Am]to be. [F]But you’re on to me and [C]all over me.

[F]You loved me ’cause [G]I’m fragile. [C]When I thought [Am]that I was strong. [F]But you touch me for [G]a little while [C]and all my fragile [Am]strength is gone.

Set [F]me free, [G]leave me be. I don’t want to [C]fall another moment into your [Am]gravity. Here [F]I am and I [G]stand so [C]tall, just the way I’m supposed [Am]to be. [F]But you’re on to me and [C]all over me.

[F]I live [G]here on my knees as I [Am]try to [G]make you see that you’re [F]Everything [G]I think I need here [Am]on the [G]ground. [F]But you’re [G]neither friend nor foe though [C]I can’t seem to [Am]let you go. [F]The one thing that [G]I still know is that [C]you’re keeping me [Am]down
