set you free this time chords
the byrds *

A D

D
the first thing that i heard you say when you were standing there
Bm D A
set in your way was that you were not blind
D
you were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there
Bm D A
that you could see that could go beyond your mind
E
now who’s standing at the door remembering the days before
E7 E D
and asking please be kind?
A E A
it isn’t how it was set up to be but i’ve set you free this time

D
i have never been so far out in front that i could ever ask for what i want
Bm D A
and have it any time
D
knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what i should be
Bm D A
and there i stood behind
E
with all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to
E7 E D
tear me from my mind
A E A
in front of what it is you seem me to be i’ve set you free this time

D
i could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or A
Bm D A
thing to lose because there was your stand
D
on top of all the love you took
Bm D A
there was only something you can look at lying in your hand
E
now who’s wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged
E7 E D
to have each thing work fine
A E A
it isn’t how it was set up to be but i’ll set you free this time
