Em             Am  D  B7
  Da da da ...

[Verse 1]
E                             Am
   If you gotta break another heart
        D       B7               Em
then break it       come on and break it
                                Am
If you gotta take that kind of chance
      D       B7            Em
then take it      go on and take it

                          Am       D
Anything I say or do will make no difference
       Em         G
in the end you'll go ahead and
C           Am           B7   D
do what you really wanna do

[Chorus]
G              Em            Am           D
  If you gotta break another heart, then break it
G              Em                 Am          D
  if you gotta take that kind of chance, then take it
         G      Em       Am                  D              Em
You are free to take it      but don't come runnin' back to me

[Verse 2]
Em                                Am
   If you're gonna make another change
      D        B7             Em
then make it       go on and make it
                             Am
If you're gonna do it, do it now
       D         B7                  Em
don't leave it        'cause I can't take it

                              Am       D
Everybody knows that you were born a drifter
         Em      G             C
you were born a drifter, baby
               Am           B7     D
you'll never, never settle down

[Chorus]
G              Em            Am           D
  If you gotta break another heart, then break it
G              Em                 Am          D
  If you gotta take that kind of chance, then take it
         G      Em       Am                  D              Em
You are free to take it      but don't come runnin' back to me

[Chorus]
G              Em           Am         D
  If you gotta play another tune, then play it
G              Em                 Am         D
  If you gotta say what's on your mind, then say it
     G       Em      Am                   D              G
go ahead and say it       but don't come runnin' back to me

[Outro]
G              Em          Am         D
  Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da da, then break it
G              Em              Am           D
  Da-da-da-da, da-da, another chance, then take it
        G       Em        Am                   D              G
You are free to take it        but don't come runnin' back to me
