[Intro]
[F#]   [C#]   [F#]   [C#]

[Verse 1]
       [F#]
When a spirit is broken, 
Why go on
              [C#]
When there’s nothing to say
      [F#]
And a love just a token, 
It was strong
          [C#]
Now it’s fading away

[Chorus]
                   [F#]
Ah but I'm free as a bird 
                         [C#m/F#]
As I walk right out that door
            [B]
You have my word
              [G#]
I won’t bother you no more
         [F#]
Yes I'm doing alright
      [C#]            [F#]
As I face the lonely night

[Verse 2]
        [F#]
And our love, it was over 
Long ago
          [C#]
But we just didn’t say
        [F#]
And the years, they have fallen 
One by one
          [C#]
How they drifted away

[Chorus]
                   [F#]
But now I'm free as a bird 
                     [C#m/F#]
As I walk right out that door
             [B]
You have my word
             [G#]
I won’t bother you no more
             [F#]
Yes I'm feeling OK
        [C#]           [F#]
As I face the brand new day
        [C#]           [F#]
As I face the brand new day

[Solo – Saxophone]
[F#]   [C#]   [F#]   [C#]

[Chorus]
(You know) You know I'm free as a bird
                        [C#m/F#]
As I walk right out that door
              [B]
You have my word
                  [G#]
I won't bother you no more
            [F#]
Yes I'm doing alright
       [C#]             [F#]
As I face the lonely night
       [C#]             [F#]
As I face the lonely night

[Outro]
         [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
No more sorrows 
         [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
Will I find 
             [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
I've got tomorrow 
        [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
On my side 
          [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
No more teardrops       
         [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
Will I cry 
          [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
Left my teardrops 
        [F#] - [F#7] - [F#sus4]
Way behind
