Intro: C#m   A   C#m   A 
  
 C#m                                          A 
Felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders 
  C#m                                   E      B5 
Pressure to break or retreat and then return 
 C#m                                 A 
Facing the fear that the truth, I discovered 
*C#m                 *F# 
No telling how, all these will work out 
    *C#m                       *G#7   *Single strum 
But I?ve come to far to go back now. 
 
 
                 C#m                  A 
I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom 
        B5                            F# 
And to find it cost me everything I have 
G#7                    C#m                  A 
 Well I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom 
        B5          *Pause             *C#m Flow to 2nd Verse 
And to find it, may take everything I have

{ 
C#m                               A

    C#m                                    E      B5 
the chains of the world they seem to movin tight 
  C#m                                       A 
I try to walk around if I?m stumbling so familiar 
C#m                      F# 
 tryin to get up but the doubt is so strong 
         C#m                      G#7 
there?s gotta be a winning in my bones 
 
 
                 C#m                  A 
I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom 
        B5                            F# 
And to find it cost me everything I have 
G#7                    C#m                  A 
 Well I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom 
        B5          *Pause             *C#m Flow to next stanza 
And to find it, may take everything I have 
 
        A                        C#m 
Oh not giving up has always been hard, so hard 
       A                                        B5 
but if I do the thanks lase the way I won?t get far. 
 
 
Verse III:
 
     C#m                               A 
Mhm, life hasn?t been very kind to me lately, (well) 
C#m                                   E     B5 
but I suppose it?s a push from moving on (oh yeah) 
    C#m                              A 
in time the sun?s gonna shine on me nicely (on me yeah ) 
C#m                      F#

    C#m                 G#7

I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom 
        B5                            F# 
And to find it cost me everything I have 
G#7                    C#m                  A 
 Well I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom 
        B5          *Pause                C#m (single strum) 
And to find it, may take everything I have
