"This next one's called Freebird II!"

Most of this song is the same chord progression.

Intro:
C#  B  F#
C#


Verse 1:
C#              B
I've learned how not to miss the age of tenderness
   F#           C#
That I am so lucky to have seen once
C#               B
And now that I've become older I've learned how to brush over
F#           C#
My history and how it's sequenced

C#          B
When I think about you I see a person who
F#          C#
Hasn't existed for a long time
C#            B
Before you started using, before I starting choosing
F#             C#
To do the same thing for the same reasons

C#             B
The first name I called you is not a name at all
F#          C#
More of a duty than a function
C#          B
Often an execution, often with deep confusion of
F#          C#
"??Who was I when that name was just mine?"


Instrumental Break:
C#  B  F#
C#


Verse 2:
C#             B
Like a serpent charmer negotiating harm
F#              C#
I live with a basket of your silence
C#           B
And as the years record I can feel it growing bored
F#              C#
But I keep the top on in the meantime

C#            B
When I pass my reflection there isn't any question of
F#           C#
Where the person in it came from
C#               B
When I catch myself thinking and hear the voice that speaks inside
F#          C#
I know where I got my brain from


Bridge:
A        C#        G#
Every step I've strayed from and followed

F#      C#   G#
Led me to the same location

A        C#      G#
Every act I've forsake and borrowed

F#      C#
A delivery to now

F#           C#   A B F#
And I've never wondered how I came to


Ending:
C#     B      F#     C#
Be, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C#     B      F#     C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C#     B      F#     C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C#     B      F#     C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be

A  B F#
