Am                                   E               G
Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away
Am                                E                  C
Waiting for the rainbow's end to cast its gold your way
E          G  Am     E          G Am
Countless ways you pass the days

Waiting for someone to call and turn your world around
Looking for an answer to the question you have found
Looking for an open door

Chorus:
Am          D   B
You don't get something for nothing
Am          D     B          Am
You can't have freedom for free
     Am         D              B
You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes
    Am                 D           G
No matter what your dreams might be - x2

Am               C        D
What you own is your own kingdom
 E              G         Am
What you do is your own glory
 Am               C        D
What you love is your own power
  E               G         Am
What you live is your own story


In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song
