[Intro]
Em, G, D, C x2

[Verse 1]
Em              G
On the day that you were born 
D             C            Em
They built an empire off a screen
  G              D    C
I can't explain 
Em                G
Endlessly they'll set you free 
D             C        Em
Give you reason to believe, 
     G            D    C
This empty place 


[Pre-Chorus]
Em         G
I may seem unafraid 
Em             G
And I may seem unashamed
    Em     G  D          C
But I will be special k 


[Chorus]
C             Am  Em
Never let the summer catch you down 
C              Am           Em
Never let your thoughts run free 
C               D       G    D   Em
Even when their numbers draw you out 
C                    D*       [let it ring]
Everything I want is free 


        Em    G   D
Til the end 
C       Em    G   D
Til the end 
C       Em    G
Til the end 

D         C         Em    G
I'm gonna love you 
D           C       Em    G
One hunderd one percent 
D         C        Em*   [let it ring]
I'm gonna love you till this ends



[Verse 2] - same prgression as Verse 1
Take a chance if you should go
Face upon your happy home
The scanners wait
Selfishly they might concede
You were always on your own
You can't escape
 
[Pre-Chorus]
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k

[Chorus]
C             Am  Em
Never let the summer catch you down 
C              Am           Em
Never let your thoughts run free 
C               D       G    D   Em
Even when their numbers draw you out 
C                    D*    [let it ring]
Everything I want is free
        

           G      D          D             G        Em    G
You're not me and never ever will you ever be    
D         C           Em   G
I'm gonna find you 
D         C     Em   G
and never run against
D         C
I'm gonna find you 

Am       C     G   Am
Til the end
Am       C     G   Am
Til the end

You're free with me
