Freedom '90

George Michael

Tom: G

D                C
I won't let you down
                    G
I will not give you up
(Gotta have some faith in the sound)
         C          D        C     D
It's the one good thing that I've got

D                C
I won't let you down

                         G
So please don't give me up

          C               D             C     D
Because I would really, really love to stick around
Oh yeah

 D C G C D C D
 G                         F
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
G                             C G(C) G
Didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy

Gm                                    D
I think there's something you should know
                              F
I think it's time I told you so
                                  C
There's something deep inside of me
                                  Gm
There's someone else I've got to be
                              D
Take back your picture in a frame
                               F
Take back your singing in the rain

I just hope you understand
 C                       (D)           G
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

G               F
All we have to do now
    C                   G
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
                F
All we have to see
           C
Is that I don't belong to you
         F    G      F G
And you don't belong to me
  G       F      C
Freedom Freedom Freedom
              F        G   F  G
You've gotta give for what you take
  G       F      C
Freedom Freedom Freedom
              F        G   F  G
You've gotta give for what you take

 D                             C
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
                              G C G C
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

Gm
Well it looks like the road to heaven
                               D
But it feels like the road to hell
                                     F
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
                     C
I took the knife as well
Gm
Posing for another picture
                    D
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last

Gm
That's what you get, that's what you get
       D
I say that's what you get, that's what you get
  F                                   C
That's what you get for changing your mind
  Gm
That's what you get
  D
That's what you get
(And after all this time)
F
I just hope you understand
 C
Sometimes the clothes
    (D)          G
Do not make the man
