[Intro]
| A | B/E E B | A | E E E/G# |
| A | G#m7 C#m7 B | A | B | 
| C#m7 | F# | C#m7 | F# |


[Verse]
             C#m7                  F#
Oh, yes it's hard, it's getting harder
            C#m7               F#
To turn the cheek or just walk away
           C#m7         F#
When all I see is degradation
          C#m7  F#
Day after day
        C#m7                F#
I wanna fight, my hands are tied
                C#m7   F#
My weapons are pitiful
               C#m7
And all that's left
            F#                C#m7
One troubled mind, one timid voice
       F#
Such a desperate noise


[Chorus]
            A                          B/E E  B
What's in a word, more than you imagine
            A                      E      E/G#
What's in a word, more than I can say
          A                       G#m7    C#m7 B  A
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds 
A                         B             C#m7  F#
Freedom's singing in your head, in your head

C#m7 F#


[Verse]
            C#m7            F#
And while I slide down into darkness
            C#m7                    F#
You spent so proud, so proud in the light
            C#m7
Oh, help me please
            F#                        C#m7   F#
I think I'm falling between wrong and right
            C#m7                    F#
Why give me strenght, then speak at lenght
              C#m7       F#
Of wisdom and tenderness
           C#m7              F#
So much to learn, so much to lose
             C#m7         F#       
I've asked it before, now tell me once more


[Chorus]
            A                          B/E E B
What's in a word, more than you imagine
            A                      E   E/G#
What's in a word, more than I can say
          A                       G#m7  C#m7  B  A
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds 
A                         B
Chimes of freedom in your head
           A                             B/E E B
Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning
           A                     E     E/G#
And I have heard that the die is cast
           A               G#m7 C#m7 B A
I know the word can be liberation
A                    B             C#m7  F#             
For a people free at last, free at last

[Bridge]
N.C.
Some give a damn, some give their lives
N.C.
Why can't we give peace a chance
N.C.
Put down that gun, a battle won without even a shot
N.C.
Oh, dreamer I'm not


[Chorus]
            A                          B/E E B
What's in a word, more than you imagine
            A                      E      E/G#
What's in a word, more than I can say
          A                       G#m7   C#m7  B  A
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds 
A                         B
Chimes of freedom in your head
           A                             B/E E  B
Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning
           A                     E   E/G#
And I have heard that the die is cast
           A                G#m7 C#m7 B A
I know the word can be liberation
A                    B                         
For a people free at last,
            A     B/E E B
What's in a word, 
            A     E   E/G#
What's in a word, 
          A      G#m7 C#m7 B  A
Once in a while 
A                         B
Chimes of freedom in your head
         C#m7  F# 
Free at last
