Strum
D-DU-UDU
Once  in a house on a hill
 A boy got angry
 He broke  into my heart
For  a day and a night
 I stayed beside  him
Until  I had no hope
So  I came down the hill
Of  course I was hurt
But  then I started to think
 It shouldn't hurt me to be free
 It's what I really need
To  pull myself together
But  if it's so good being free
 Would you mind telling me
Why  I don't know what to do  with myself
There's  a bar by the dock
 Where I found myself
Drinking  with this man
He  offered me a cigarette
 And I accepted
'Cause  it's been a very long time
As  it burned 'till the end
I  thought of the boy
No  one could ever forget
It  shouldn't hurt me to be free
 It's what I really need
To  pull myself together
But  if it's so good being free
 Would you mind telling me
Why  I don't know what to do  with myself
To  pull myself together
 But if it's so  good being free
 Would you mind telling me
Why  I don't know what to do  with myself
It  shouldn't hurt me to be free
 It's what I really need
To  pull myself together
 But if it's so  good being free
 Would you mind telling me
Why  I don't know what to do  with myself
