Freedom 90  George Michael

[Cborus 0] 
[A] I won't let you d[G]own
I will not give you [D]up
Gotta have some faith in the so[A]und
It's the one good thing that I've [A]got
I won't let you d[G]own
So please don't give me [D]up
Because I would really, r[A]eally love to stick around, oh yeah!
[Interlude] 
[A] [G] [D] [A]  
[Verse 1] 
[E]Heaven knows I was just a [D]young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to[Asus4] be (D[A]idn't know what I wanted to be)[Asus4] [A]
I was [E]every little hungry schoolgirls [D]pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for[Asus4] me (A[A]nd I guess it was enough fo[Asus4]r me)[A]
To [E]win the race? A prettier face! B[D]rand new clothes and a big fat place
On your[Asus4] rock [A]and roll tv (ro[Asus4]ck and[A] roll tv)
But [E]today the way I play the game is not th[D]e same. No way!
Think I'm gonna get me [Asus4]some h[A]appy[Asus4] [A]
[Pre-Cborus] 
[Am]I think there's something you should know
[Ammaj7]I think it's time I told you so
[Am7]There's something deep inside of me
[D]There's someone else I've got to be
[Am]Take back your picture in a frame
[Ammaj7]Take back your singing in the rain
[Am7]I just hope you understand
[D]Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
[Cborus 1] 
[A]All we have to [G]do now
Is [D]take these lies and m[A]ake them true somehow
[A]All we have to s[G]ee
Is that I [D]don't belong to you
And you [A]don't belong to me yeah yeah-ah
[A](Freedom) I won't let you down
[G](Freedom) I will not give you up
[D](Freedom) Gotta have some faith in the sound

[G](Freedom) So please don't give me up
[D](Freedom) Because I would really, really love)
[A](You've gotta give for what you take) to stick around
[verse 2] 
[E]Heaven knows we sure had some [D]fun boy
What a kick, just a buddy an[Asus4]d me ([A]What a kick, just a buddy and m[Asus4]e)[A]
We had e[E]very big-shot goodtime band on the r[D]un boy
We were living in a[Asus4] fanta[A]sy (We were living in a f[Asus4]antasy[A])
We [E]won the race. Got out of the place. I [D]went back home, got a brand new face
For the [Asus4]boys o[A]n MTV (b[Asus4]oys on[A] MTV)
But to[E]day the way I play the game has got to c[D]hange, oh yeah (oh yeah)
Now I'm gonna get mys[Asus4]elf ha[A]ppy[Asus4] [A]
[Pre-Cborus] 
[Am]I think there's something you should know

[Interlude] 
(Actually this part is Am-Am-Am-D. But when played acoustic, it flows better and feels less boring)
(to employ the pre-chorus chord pattern. And feel free to play just 4 bars without repeating.)
[Am](x2)[Ammaj7] [Am7] [D]
[Pre-cborus] 
[Am]Well it looks like the road to heaven
[Ammaj7]But it feels like the road to hell
[Am7]When I knew which side my bread was buttered
[D]I took the knife as well
[Am]Posing for another picture
[Am]Everybody's got to sell
[Ammaj7]But when you shake your ass
[Am7]They notice fast
[D]And some mistakes were build to last
[Am](That's what you get) That's what you get
[Ammaj7](That's what you get) I say that's what you get
[Am7](That's what you get for changing your mind)
[D]That's what you get for changing your mind
[Am](That's what you get)
[Ammaj7](That's what you get) And after all this time
[Am7](I just hope you understand)
[D]Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
[Cborus 3] 
[A](All we have to do[G] now) oh hey and
Is [D]take these lies and m[A]ake them true somehow
All[A] we have to se[G]e
Is that I [D]don't belong to you
And you d[A]on't belong to me yeah yeah-ah
[A]Freedom
Oh f[G]reedom
My [D]freedom
You've gotta [A]give for what you take
[A]Freedom
Hold on to my freedo[G]m
My [D]freedom
(You've gotta gi[A]ve for what you take) Give it a what you give it a what
you [A]take yeah
[G]yeah[D]
Yeah you gotta [A]give it a what you give it a what you give
[A]May not be what you want from me
[G]Just the way it's got to be
[D]Lose the face now
[A]I've got to live I've got to live I've got to live
(fade out)
