The Byrds Set You Free This Time written by Gene Clark A D The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there Bm A Set in your way was that you were not blind D You were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there Bm A That you could see that could go beyond your mind E Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before D And asking please be kind A E A It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time D I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want Bm A And have it any time D Knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be Bm A And there I stood behind E With all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to D Tear me from my mind A E A In front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time D I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a Bm A thing to lose because there was your stand D On top of all the love you took Bm A There was only something you can look at lying in your hand E Now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged D To have each thing work fine A E A It isn't how it was set up to be but I'll set you free this time D Bm A Copyright @ 1965 Tickson Music Co.
