  Eb   G      Cm
I wish I knew how
   G#    Bb    Eb
it feels to be free
  Eb   G       Cm
I wish I could break
        F              Bb
all the chains holding me

  Eb   G       Cm
I wish I could say
        G#          Bb       Eb
all the things that I should say
            Eb   G       Eb
I'd say 'em loud say 'em clear
        G#          Bb       Eb
for the whole round world to hear
Eb     G       Cm
I wish I could share
        G#          Bb    Eb
all the love that's in my heart
Eb       G       Cm
  Remove all the bars
    F        Bb
that keep us apart

      Eb   G         Cm
And I wish you could know
        G#    Bb    Eb
what it means to be me
           Eb  G   Cm
Then you'd see and agree
           G#  Bb        Eb
that every man should be free

Eb       G       Cm
  I wish I could give
         G#  Bb     Eb
what I'm longing to give
Eb  G            Cm
  I wish I could live
F                     Bb
  like I'm longing to live

      Eb   G       Cm
And I wish I could do
        G#          Bb    Eb
all the things that I can do
        Eb  G    Cm
And I'm way over due

                G# Bb       Eb
you know I'll be   starting anew
Eb  G      Cm
  I wish I could be
       G#   Bb     Eb
like a bird in the sky
Eb    G              Cm
  How sweet it would be
     F                 Bb
if I found out I could fly

Eb      G       Cm
So long to this song
         G#   Bb     Eb
and look down at the sea
      Eb    G       Cm    G#
And I sing 'cause I know, you know!

[Outro]
And I sing 'cause I know, hey!
And I sing 'cause I know, yeah!
And I sing 'cause I know, oh!
And I sing 'cause I know, yeah!
And I sing 'cause I know, oh!
And I sing 'cause I know, yeah!
