Sara Bareilles - Free Ride
(Capo 4th Fret - Key is B major)
Other tab sounds/looks inaccurate, I think this might
be better.
If you want extension, just make sure G (heard as B)
is in each chord, and it'll sound closer to what
she plays on ukulele. Ex. D -> Dadd4, F -> Fadd2, etc.
She also plays Gadd4 instead of G, but enough of that.
Last note is that chords with parentheses around them
are just continuations (tried to match it up with her
timing, so it's not perfect.)

G
Look at you standing there,
D/F#
There with your hands out.
F
Standing next to the road that goes up,
C
Runnin' your mouth about how,
D
You're gonna wait for the one that comes down.
G D/F#
Who do you think you are... Somebody's baby?
F
You want what everyone has, and you want your name on it,
C D
Think it happens like that... That'd be nice, won't it?
F Am7
I gotta be careful of you.
F C D
I, I wanna get there, too.
G
You wanna go, but you want a free ride.
D
You wanted in by standin' on the outside.
Am7 C D G
I'm not the one to call when it comes undone.
G
()
You want the world, but don't wanna pay out,
D Am7
Don't wanna hurt, and don't wanna say out loud,
C
That I'm right, there's no end in sight --
D G
Waiting on a free ride.
G D/F#
()
You say your turn is coming, that's what you told me.
F C
So you stand in one place, wait for the end of the tunnel to come,
D
light up your face, and award you for what you haven't done.
G D/F#
I know, it's out of my hands...
F
But I had to pay with blood, sweat, and tears,
C D
while you dare to say that your lucky day is past due.
You wanna go, but you want a free ride.
You wanted in by standin' on the outside.
I'm not the one to call when it comes undone.
You want the world, but don't wanna pay out,
Don't wanna hurt, and don't wanna say out loud,
That I'm right, there's no end in sight --
Waiting on a free ride.
F Am7
I see, you when the lights come up.
F
You want some too...
Am7
How could anyone blame you?
F Am7
I see you when the lights come up.
F
You want some too...
D
How could anyone blame you?
G D
You wanna go, but you want a free ride.
F C D
You wanna go, but you want a free ride.
You wanna go, but you want a free ride.
You wanted in by standin' on the outside.
I'm not the one to call when it comes undone.
You want the world, but don't wanna pay out,
Don't wanna hurt, and don't wanna say out loud,
That I'm right, there's no end in sight --
Waiting on a free ride.
Just waitin', waitin on a free ride.
