[Intro]

F Am C

[Verse 1]

F Am C

I wanna go, wanna go where my lover can't be found

F Am C

I wanna go somewhere I can get drunk and tan and walk around

F Am C

And I'll be seemingly free till my boyfriend comes to town

F Am C

And I'll be seemingly free till my boyfriend comes to town

F Am C

I'm bummin' everyone out, I'm lettin' everyone down

F Am C

They're tellin' me there's still time, that I can still get out

F Am C

But he's my man, he's the one I want

F Am C

He's my man, he's the one I want

[Chorus]

G F C

So I don't care what I do anymore

My ship has set sail, I'm wavin'

Friends on the shore, I'm bailin'

F Am C

(Free) Some kind of prey that you caught, I'm

F Am C

(Free) Captive and I like it less than I thought, if

F Am

I ever loved you, it's my own fault

D C

so I'll be as free as you let me be

[Instrumental]

F Am C

[Verse 2]

F Am C

I wanna go, wanna go where my lover can't be found

F Am C

I wanna go somewhere I can just think and fuck and mellow out

F Am C

And I'll be seemingly free till my boyfriend comes to town

F Am C

And I'll be seemingly free till my boyfriend comes to town

F Am C

I just wanted to be someone that you need

F Am C

I just craved a little codependency

F Am C

But we've gotten too close, it's beginning to frighten me

F Am C

But we've gotten too close, it's beginning to frighten me

[Chorus]

G F C

And I don't know what I'll do anymore

My ship has set sail, I'm wavin'

Friends on the shore, I'm bailin'

F Am C

(Free) Some kind of prey that you caught, I'm

F Am C

(Free) Captive and I like it less than I thought, if

F Am

I ever loved you, it's my own fault

so I'll be as free as you let me be

[Instrumental]
