{Verse 1:}
G C
At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream
G C
A war's already waged for my destiny
G C
But You've already won the battle
Am C
And You've got great plans for me
Am C (Drop on 4)
Though I can’t always see
{Chorus:}
G C
(‘Cause) I got a couple dents in my fender
Em D
Got a couple rips in my jeans
G C
Try to fit the pieces together
Em D
But perfection is my enemy
G C
On my own I'm so clumsy
Am C D
But on Your shoulders I can see
{1st Chorus End:}
G C Em D (1 strum)
I'm free to be me
{Verse 2:}
G C
When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
G C (Drop on 1)
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
G C
But things don't always come that easy
Am C
And sometimes I would doubt, Oh-oh-oh...
(Chorus)
{2nd Chorus End:}
Am C
I’m free to be me...
Am C
And you’re free to be you...
{Verse 3:}
G C
Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
G C
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
G C
But You look at my heart and You tell me
Am C
That I've got all You seek, oh-oh-oh
Am C (Stop on 3)
And it’s easy to believe... even though...
(Chorus x2)
{Outtro:}
G C
I’m free to be me...
Am C (one strum)
And you’re free to be you...
