[Opening]
[C]Oh, the joke was never hard to tell
Threw my [A]spare change in the wishing well
The [Dm]dream alone is always in your hands
If [Fm]that don’t fill the boy and [G]build the man
A [C]heart has many secrets, so I’m told
Through the [A]years, a theory can grow cold
I’m [Dm]up to be the king, it’s gotten clear
The [Fm]voice inside my head is the [G]one I hear
[chorus]
Singing, [Db]I’m gonna love me again
Check [Ebm]in on my very best friend
Find the [Ab]wind to fill my sails
Rise [Db]above the broken rails
[Bbm]Unbound by any ties that break or [Db]bend
I’m [Gb]free, and don’t you know?
No [Ebm]clown to claim he used to know me then
I’m [F]free, and [Bbm]don’t you [F]know?
And [Ebm]oh-oh-oh, [Gb]I’m gonna [Ab]love me [Db]again
[verse 2]
[Db]Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Db]Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
[verse 3]
The [C]golden age was somehow bittersweet
But [A]now the past lies sleeping in the deep
The [Dm]peaceful days that followed hollow nights
A [F]kiss or touch could feel like [G]Kryptonite
Praise the [C]Saints that hung up on my wall
For [A]trust is left in lovers after all
A [Dm]whispered word emerging from a tale
My [F]wake-up call to claim the [G]cursed spell
[chorus]
Well, [Db]I’m gonna love me again
Check [Ebm]in on my very best friend
Find the [Ab]wind to fill my sails
Rise [Db]above the broken rails
[Bbm]Unbound by any ties that break or [Db]bend
I’m [Gb]free, and don’t you know?
No [Ebm]clown to claim he used to know me then
I’m [F]free, and [Bbm]don’t you [F]know?
And [Ebm]oh-oh-oh, [Gb]I’m gonna [Ab]love me [Db]again
[chorus]
[Db] [C] [A] [Dm] [F] [G] [C] [A] [Dm] [F] [G]
Sing, [Db]I’m gonna love me again
Check [Ebm]in on my very best friend
Find the [Ab]wind to fill my sails
Rise [Db]above the broken rails
[Bbm]Unbound by any ties that break or [Db]bend
I’m [Gb]free, and don’t you know?
No [Ebm]clown to claim he used to know me then
I’m [F]free, and [Bbm]don’t you [F]know?
And [Ebm]oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
[Gb]I’m gonna [Ab]love me [Db]again [Gb]
[Closing]
I’m gonna [Ab]love me [Db]again [Bbm]
[Gb]I’m gonna [Ab]love me [Db]again
