Permission
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: Dm F C G
Dm F
I've been an ace girl
Dm F
Offering much, grumbling low
Dm F
And I gave all, all that was asked of me
Dm F
When order was slow and vision was unrelenting
Dm Bb
I never stopped long enough
F C
To swim against the tides of old
Dm Bb
And I was single-minded too much
F C
To look toward this new true north
So now
F C
Permission to be
Dm
Permission to slow
Bb F
And do the only things that matter to me
C
The freedom to flow
Dm
To where genuine flows
Bb
And do the only things that matter to me
Dm F
And sure, I've had my fun
Dm
Played with my roles
F
With time for a break hard-won
Dm F
But then after a while
Dm
So much done by rote
F
No longer by inspiration
Dm Bb
I've never stopped long enough
F C
To see whose was this blind ambition
Dm F
And I was not sanctioned to stop
Bb C
And realize whose was this old mission
So now
F C
Permission to be
Dm
Permission to slow
Bb F
And do the only things that matter to me
C
The freedom to flow
Dm
To where genuine flows
Bb
And do the only things that matter to me
C Dm Bb
With this space by the dropping of weights
C
This license to obey
Dm C
With this time really wait
So now
F C
Permission to be
Dm
Permission to slow
Bb F
And do the only things that matter to me
C
The freedom to flow
Dm
To where genuine flows
Bb F
And do the only things that matter to me
C Bb Dm F
The simple things that matter to me
C Bb Dm F
The simple things that matter to me?
