*No rhythm*
A#m Ddim7 D#m9
Introduced to the fear / it's the weapon of the evil
G# A#m
sickness of the mind / I struggle to close my eyes
The thought of you here / protecting my angels
facing the fear / so far from home
*Upstrokes*
G# F# D#m
oh oh oh help me
G# F# C#
Set me free
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me, release me, oh yeah
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me, release me
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me, release me, oh right
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me, release me
*Lick 1*
A#m Ddim7 D#m9 G#
Set me free God oh yeah
*Lick 2*
A#m Ddim7 D#m9
The man in the mirror / was the boy not long ago
G# A#m
but you know he found trouble / just as the story goes
This time it's different / the fear is cuddled whole (?? has got to hold)
it was easy / my blood was thicker and cold
*Chorus*
G# F# D#m
oh oh oh help me
G# F# C#
Set me free
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me, release me
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me, release me, oh right, oh yeah
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me, release me, oh right
C# Fm F#m G#
Release me
Set me free God
oh yeah
Under my pillow / I lament the name (?? i'm inment the name)
life feeling hollow / brought on by sickness and pain
But my love doesn't wallow / it can fight out in the streets
to any man who come to disturb / may he rest with the peace (??)
*Chorus*
Set me free God
oh right
As I lay here take me to a quiet place / as I lay here my mind begins to race
I lay here my dreams are taking hold / take this fear before it makes me old
As I lay here take me to a quiet place / as I lay here my mind begins to race
as I lay here my dreams are taking hold / take this fear before it makes me old
