LYRICS 1
      Fmaj7     Em7      
I'm free to go, there's no more need to stay
      Fmaj7            
Throw away the works of years
            Cm7 C#7    
and return to Adam's way
      Em7 Fmaj7 G Am        
Retreat from shadow
          Am/G Fmaj7      
to dabble baths and sun bleached joys
      Dm9   E7 Ebmaj7      
Live it out on an island in the mind
        F G Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7    
untouched by human flaws
 
      Fmaj7     Em7      
I'm free to go, there's nothing in my way
      Fmaj7            
Up above the rainbow's end
            Cm7 C#7    
the gold all melts away
      Em7 Fmaj7 G Am        
Return a hero
          Am/G Fmaj7      
from distant lands of fight and fire
      Dm9   E7 Ebmaj7      
Escape into the piece in my mind
        Fmaj7 Gmaj7        
and climbing higher
          Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7/Bb Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7/Bb Dm7
and higher
CHORUS
      Cmaj7   Bm7        
I nearly made it that time,
      Cmaj7 C/D Gmaj7 Dm7 Db7    
I nearly got away
      Cmaj7   Bm7        
I nearly made it that time,
      Bbmaj7   C        
but I always
          D7sus4 D7 F/G G7(b9)  
have to stay
LYRICS 2
        Cmaj7 Fmaj7        
I'm throwing out my tickets
        Bm7 Emaj7 Ebm7 Dbm7      
to the outside world
        Cmaj7 Fmaj7        
Lost interest in a drama
        Bm7 G Fmaj7 B7/b5(no3) G7    
which is destined to unfold
        Fmaj7   Bbmaj7      
I'm heading out for the shores
        Em7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7      
of a friendly land
          Dm7 Fmaj7 Bm7      
Where every grain of sand
        Em7 A G/A      
reaches out to shake me
        Fmaj7/A Em9 F/G Em7 F/G  
by the hand
