Chords for Melissa Ferrick - Freedom

Oh, I'm on there.
Tell me what it is.
I don't know.
_ [D] _ _
[C] This song is called [B] Heredity.
This is actually a true story.
[C] I don't like to be surprised at [G] all, ever.
[B] So anyway, I told this person that I was with that I didn't like being surprised,
but they didn't really want [Eb] to hear about it, so they took me to this place in Santa Barbara.
[A]
And, uh, anyway, it was awesome.
[Ab] You know what I'm saying.
And then, uh, a few years [Eb] later, like five years later,
[C] I got surprised again by a different person.
[Abm]
And, uh, we ended up in the same place, [Eb] in the same room.
[Bm] But that time, we [C] didn't.
We broke up there.
So that [Eb] shit freaks me out.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, this is, [C] like, so weird.
So anyway, so when I got there, I wrote this song on the hotel [D] camera. _ _
_ [A] _ [D] The words were,
[C] _ _ [B] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] She took me [C] to a secret place.
Not the one that [D] I had been there before.
You're driving [C] on the same [B] road.
[C] Oh, this is bad.
I'm not going to remember these words.
It's so old.
Do you remember?
[B] She took me to a secret place.
Not the one I had been there before.
[G] Sing something.
She's like, ah, something [B] lingering.
_ [Dm] _ [G] Nah.
Sorry.
I'll practice it for [A] next time.
How about that?
_ Oh. _ _
We'll pretend I sang it.
_ _ _ Freedom.
_ [D] Freedom. Freedom.
Freedom. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] I'm satisfied.
[D] It's what you're doing to me.
All I want is to be with you today.
_ And I just never feel guilty.
I don't know how many times I've got to tell you.
I don't know how I ended up this way.
It's as if sometimes, I have just held an eye out.
I have stopped, [Dm] baby.
Dead in my tracks.
[A] But like it sometimes, it covers me too.
You know, it's [D] in these moments that I feel [D] trapped.
_ So I'm dreaming of freedom.
And yes, [A] I am today.
I [D] am dreaming of freedom. _ _
_ Freedom.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
I don't know if you can handle the light anymore.
I'll take this chair back and why don't you burn it?
Because I can't even get any work done in here.
I say, look at this [D] hole I dug myself.
And I have to [B] bury that to help us.
And all [D] I can think to do now is to call you.
I said, [A] you're nothing but a liar.
_ And [Dm] that's all you can think to [G] call me.
_ [A] _ _ Yes, but I'm gonna claim my [D] freedom from it all.
And yes, I am today.
[A] I am claiming my freedom.
Oh, I am.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah, yeah, _ [A] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. _ _ _ _
