F 
Phone calls and taxi rides 
Bb           C 
somebody's leaving 
F                     Bb        C 
Misunderstandings get out of control 
F                    Dm 
The right words get left 
    Bb               C 
The wrong words get spoken 
F 
She's gone 
    C         F 
But not your pride 
 
Look at you now 
You're a picture of sorrow 
Head in your hands 
Complete isolation 
All of the things that seemed so important 
are leaves 
And are blowing away 
 
Not much can hurt  
the fool heart hat's breaking 
You can't find the words 
You can't hide the feelings 
It's down to the bone 
To the heart of the matter 
You're free 
Free as stone 
 
Walking through Belfast  
on a cold Sunday morning 
Young soldiers in their uniforms  
guns in their hands 
In a world all cut up  
with barbed wire fences 
I'm free 
I'm free as stone
