C                       G
They aren't desperate for love and affection.
Am                       G
No, they're desperate for you.
             C
And as you sit up there all sly and sure,
 G                               Am             G
I wonder, does anyone think as strongly as you do?

             C                     G
I'm quite sure we'll find one another,
                 Am
In a place that's better then this,
G
A time filled with us.
       C                                G
And we send up our shooting stars and comets.
                        Am
Yeah, we make our little gestures.
                        G
Yes, we make our little comments.

                  C
This song is my anthem,
                G
And it makes up my ideals.
         Am                G                C
And who I am has benefited from all my cleverly planned meals,
G          Am             G
All my cleverly planned meals.

C                                             G
I'm stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit.
           Am                       G
So if I voice my opinion, will you stay and sit?
C                                 G
And as I stand here screaming in despair,
       Am                      G
I said yes this is my life and yes you should care.

                  C
This song is my anthem, (close your eyes)
                G
And it makes up my ideals. (and you'll free your mind)
         Am                G             C
And who I am has benefited from all my cleverly planned meals, (you're free to fly)
G          Am                C
All my cleverly planned meals. (just say close your eyes)
(and I will free your mind, you're free to fly)

                 C
Hardly happy at all,
                         G
And I'm ready to take the fall.
           Am                               G
'Cause we pay for the stupid things we've done, we come from.
                  C                          G
Can you sit through this or is it going to be too deep?
      Am                         G
Will you ever use common sense? It comes pretty cheap.
    C                         G
So if I speak more clearly if I make more sense,
            Am                             G
Will you just shut your mouth? You won't come across quite so dense.

       C              G
And so close your eyes.
Am              G
Free your mind, you're free to fly.
C              G
Close your eyes.
     Am                G
I free my mind, I'm free to fly.
       C            G
I said close your eyes,
     C
And may you free your mind.
      Am
You're free to fly.
        C         G
I said close your eyes,
                       Am
And may you free your mind.
               G
You're free to fly.

         C            G
She said close your eyes.
     Am                     G
And free your mind, you're free to fly.
         C            G
She said close your eyes.
Am               G
Free your mind, free to fly.

C
Close your eyes

 C           G
Close your eyes.
        Am               G
I will free your mind, you're free to fly.

                  C
