[Verse 1]
C#mFreedom was something I never foundE  
BTrying to find six feet undergroundA  
C#mUnder the weight of all of my sinE  
BFighting the fight that I couldn't winA  
[Pre-Chorus]
Then You reC#mscued mEe
And now BI can breAathe
[Chorus]
I was a dC#mead man waElking
Until I was a mBan wAalking with You
I was a bC#mlind man faElling
Until I felt the lBife You're cAalling me to
PC#mulling me out of the darkness and
PEulling me out of the lies
PButting the beat in my heart againA  
I was a dC#mead man wEalking
Until You loved this dBead man wAalking back to life
[Verse 2]

A nBew kind of love ran into my veinsA  
YC#mou are the key to all of my chainsE  
To Ball that I was, now I'm not a slaveA
