Intro
C# G# C# C# G# C# F# C#
[Verse 1]
C#
Nothing feels stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
G#
Not even the smog of the city
C#
With the sun in my eyes
C#
And the cars rushing by
C# G# C# F# C#
Even yellow snow looks kind of pretty
C# C# G# C# C# G# C# F# C#
[Verse 2]
C#
Nothing tastes stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
G#
This coffee is heaven in black
C#
When I pour my first cup
C#
All the steam rises up
G# C# F# C#
And I’m glad, so glad to be back
[Chorus 1]
G# C#
Call up Johnny, it’s been too long
G# C# F# C#
Find out if his wheels still turn
G# F#
Then again, I wonder if it’s worth my while
G#
Have I got that time left to burn?
C#
Time left to burn
[Interlude]
C# G# C# C# G# C# F# C#
[Verse 3]
C#
Everything shines like a big neon sign
G#
And the girl down the hall looks so pretty
C#
There’s music in my ears
And music in my mind
G# C# F# C#
The radio is good company
[Chorus 2]
G# C#
Home sweet home, where I belong
G# C# F# C#
Open all the doors because I can
G# C#
The windows need washing but the light streams in
G#
Singing out that I’m free man
C#
I’m free man
G#
I’m free man
F# G#
I’m free man
C#
I’m free man
C# F# G# C# F# C#
[Bridge]
F# Aadd9
Time has come to talk the straight path
C# F# Aadd9 A#add9 F#
Poison all around me, I want to purify
C# Aadd9
No, I haven’t been myself
A#add9 Aadd9
Locked up in a cage
C#
I saw the beast in me
[Interlude]

[Chorus 3]
G# C#
Home sweet home where I belong
G# C# F# C#
Open all the doors because I can

The windows need washing but the light streams in

Singing out that I’m free man

I’m free man

I’m free man
F# G#
I’m free man
C#
I’m free man
