E           Bm         A
How does it feel to be free
      E            D       F#m
Is it all that you wanted, all that you dreamed
E           Bm         A
How does it feel to be seen
    E            D        F#m
The grass is the same, no matter how green
          F#m
Don't you know what they say
 Am                         E
About all the ways you must go
          F#m                  Am
Don't you know what they do to people like you
C                                  B7
Everyone is standing round, they'd love to bring you down


Chorus:
E    D          A   F#m
Everything must die
   E           D       A             F#m
It does you no good to scream at the sky
E    D          A       F#m            B7
Everything must die and I'm gonna miss it
    F#m       B7      C#m
But I'm gonna kiss it bye

Harmonica solo

How does it feel to be clean
To know in your heart, to be what you mean
How does it feel to believe
To finally be certain of things you can't see
Don't you know what they say
About all the ways you must go
Don't you know what they do to people like you
Give an inch, they take a mile, life can only last a while

Chorus

How does it feel to be you
Does it hurt you inside to know what you do
How does it feel to be free
The bird in its cage loves the song that it sings
Don't you know what they say
About all the ways you must go
Don't you know what they do to people like you
Give an inch, they take a mile, life can only last a while
 
Chorus
