There wasn't enough time to say goodbye before we went away
I missed your party, I lost your address
And now I hear you complaining over the phone how bad the weather is
I didn't say anything, did I?
You've been such a good girl all the time that I find fault with somebody else
I've been such a coward all [Em]my [A]life that I sometimes I drag you [A7down
You fought for [Dm7]my [A]ɾight but got [Fm7]a crying face back
I didn't say anything, did I?
If I'm free, free as a bird
I'll fly away (From) my [A]city and [Bm]fly to [C7]you
If I'm free, free as a bird
I'll send you [A7a letter and [Bm]say I love you
You broke up before the marriage
I know nothing about love so I didn't say anything, did I?
We've promised each other that we'll go around the world
But such a long [Am]time has passed away
I didn't say anything, did I?
If I'm free, free as a bird
I'll fly away (From) my [A]city and [Bm]fly to [C7]you
If I'm free, free as a bird
I'll send you [A7a letter and [Bm]say I love you
If we meet again in the café with some cats around
If we hold hands, arm in arm, walking in the park
If we stɾoll in the stɾeets and [Bm]see the stars shining
I'll tell you [A7my [A]apologies
I'll tell you [A7I'm sorry, and [Bm]I know I will
If I'm free, free as a bird
I'll fly away from here and [Bm]fly to [C7]you
My wings will be [Am]hurt in the smoggy days
But I'll send you [A7a letter and [Bm]say I love you [A7so
(If I'm) free, free as a bird
I'll fly away (Free) my [A]city and [Bm]fly to [C7]you
If I'm free, free as a bird
I'll send you [A7a letter and [Bm]say I love you [A7so
