Without My Strings

[Intro ]
Am Dm7 C E 


[Verso 1]
 
Am                                        Dm7 
  I'm holding my knife to the edge of the rope 
                                         Am 
I'm pulling the blade and I'm lettin' it go 
                                            E 
The fibers are frayed, now I'm cutting them slowly down 
Am                                        Dm7 
  I'm watching the ground as I try not to fall 
                                       Am 
I'm gripping my hips as I stick to the wall 
                                         E 
The wires are cut now, I'm chopping them off me now 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
Am 
  I'm not your puppet 
Dm7                 Am 
  I'm not your marionette 
                      E                       Am 
Thought I was bluffin', I told you I wouldn't let 
                 Dm7 
You hold me hostage 
                       Am 
You wrap me up in your net 
        E 
In your net 
 


[Refrão]
 
             Am 
It's a new life 
               Dm7               C 
I'm finally free without my strings 
               E            Am 
I've lost control of everything 
          Dm7                 C 
I wanna know what freedom brings 
             E                   Am 
Without my strings, it's a new life 
 


[Pós-Refrão]
 
         Dm7        C 
A new life, a new life 
        E                   Am 
A new life without my strings 
         Dm7        C 
A new life, a new life 
        E                   Am 
A new life without my strings 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                                     Dm7 
I fall to the earth as I struggle to walk 
                                      Am 
It's like I'm a baby just learnin' to talk 
                                       E 
And no one can save me, I'm on my own, lonely now 
Am                                       Dm7 
  I rise to my feet and I breathe in the air 
                                  Am 
I still can't believe I can go anywhere 
                                          E 
No longer your puppet, your servant, your pet, your marionette 
 


[Refrão]
 
Am               Dm7               C 
  I'm finally free without my strings 
               E            Am 
I've lost control of everything 
          Dm7                 C 
I wanna know what freedom brings 
             E                   Am 
Without my strings, it's a new life 
 


[Pós-Refrão]
 
         Dm7        C 
A new life, a new life 
        E                   Am 
A new life without my strings 
         Dm7        C 
A new life, a new life 
        E 
A new life without my strings 
 


[Ponte]
 
Am 
All of us puppets should just stick together 
Dm7 
Cut off our strings and we'll be free forever 
Am                                         E 
All of us puppets should just stick together 
Am 
All of us puppets should just stick together 
Dm7 
Cut off our strings and we'll be free forever 
Am                                         E 
All of us puppets should just stick together

               E            Am 
I've lost control of everything 
          Dm7                 C 
I wanna know what freedom brings 
             E                   Am 
Without my strings, it's a new life 
               Dm7                 C 
I'm finally free without these threads 
               E               Am 
My heart was cold, my hope was dead 
          Dm7                 C 
I wanna know what freedom brings 
             E                   Am 
Without my strings, it's a new life 
 


[Pós-Refrão]

A new life, a new life 
        E  N.C. 
A new life without my strings
