[INTRO: ]
A D (x4) 
 
VERSE 1: 
A       D    A      D 
Remember the hidden treasure 
A           D       A    D 
That we find in our lives 
     A  D       A        D 
Like all of our favorite flowers 
A           D       A   D 
Beauty lives and it dies 
 
CHORUS 1: 
   A        E         A         D 
We wait for what this life will bring 
   A       E            A      D 
We hope to find what we really need 
A         E    A  D 
Lives get broken, left just hoping 
A         E           A        D 
Within us all freedom wants to sing 
           A   D 
We want to sing 
 
A D (x3) 
 
VERSE 2: 
   A   D       A          D 
We look at the sun that's shining 
    A            D    A    D 
But we don't feel the light 
       A       D           A       D 
And we cry, we cry, we cry for the answer 
   A            D  A   D 
To dry our tears inside 
 
CHORUS 2: 
        A       E        A        D 
Can the truth refine and free the soul 
         A        E       A      D 
When the hurt you have is all you know 
        A       E        A   D 
Through endless searching and nights of wondering 
A       E           A      D 
Someone said, "Just let it go" 
 
VERSE 3: 
A               D        A            D 
We all know that we have all felt the pain 
      E 
For a little while 
    A            D     A              D 
And are we hiding in a secret life of shame 
       E 
With a broken smile 
 
BRIDGE: 
A             D    A D 
With a broken smile 
A             D      A             A 
With a broken smile, with a broken smile 
 
CHORUS 3: 
   A        E         A         D 
We wait for what this life will bring 
   A       E            A     D 
We hope to find what we really need 
        A       E        A    D 
Through endless searching and nights of wondering 
A         E          A      D 
Won't someone please set me free 
      A    D 
Set me free
