[Intro]
G D A
[Verse 1]Anneliese:
D G
All my life I've always wanted
D G
To have one day just for me
A D G A
Nothing to do and for once nowhere I need to be
D G
With no lessons, lords, or lunches
D G
Or to-do list in the way
A D G A
No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay
That would be the day
G Bm A
[Verse 2]
Erika:
D G
All my life I've always wanted
D G
To have one day for myself
A D G A
Not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf
D G
With no hems in need of pressing
D G
And no sleeves in disarray
A D G A
No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet
And no debt to pay
G Bm A
[Pre-chorus]
Erika:
G
What would it be like to be
Anneliese:
A
What would it be like to be

Free
[Chorus]
A B G# A
Free to try crazy things
Erika:
A B C#m
Free from endless iou's
Anneliese:
A B
Free to fly

Free to sing
Anneliese:
A B
And marry whom I choose
A C#m B
[Verse 3]
Anneliese:
D G
You would think that I'm so lucky
D G
That I have so many things
A D G A
I'm realizing that every present comes with strings
Erika:
D G
Though I know I have so little
D G
My determination strong
A D G A
People will gather around the world to hear my song
Bertie:
Can I come along?
[Pre-chorus]
Anneliese:
G
Now I fear I'll never be
Erika:
A
Soon I will forever be
Anneliese:
F#
Free
Erika:
Free
[Bridge]
Both:
Bm A
I close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles away
Bm
I could take flight but would it be right
A F#
My conscience tells me stay
[Verse 4]
Anneliese:
E A
I'll remain forever royal
Erika:
E A
I'll repay my parent's debt
Both:
B E A B
Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret
Anneliese:
E E
But I'll never stop believing
Erika:
A E
She can never stop my schemes
Both:
B E A B
There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams
A B
In my dreams
A E
I'll be free
