Am C
It's been a long time since we talked
Am
Call me back when you're free
C
I left him a voicemail that reads
[Verse 1: RAYE]
G
"Dear, grandad
It's been so many months that I haven't called
C
Seems as always something more important on my to do list
G
All that I'm missing, chasing everything I lack, grandad
C
Seems I dwell on what I don't have instead of what I do
G
And it's weird that I wear lipstick and put a kiss on the back of my hand
C
So I can see what my love looks like when I'm alone
G
And how are you, grandad? Do you get lonely too, grandad?
C B
'Cause right now I could use a call home, I just wanna be free (Free)
[Chorus: RAYE, Grandad Michael & Both]
C
You see? (Free)
G
Like a child, rolling (Running) down a hill (Rolling down a hill)
C
In a field of golden and green
Em
Where every burden that weighs on me (Ah)
D
Will fall away like a soft rain
G
And fall into a stream (Stream)
C
In fields of golden and green (Green)
[Verse 2: RAYE]
G
I wanna be rid of the nothingness that waits for me in the living room
C G
Do you still play the piano, Grandad? Play me something, play me Clair de lune
My goodness me, where did all the time go?
C
When did I go from being a kid?
G
My mum tucking me into to bed, to this grown up Grandad (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun)
Is this as good as it gets? (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun)
C
My other pillows never touched, it gathers dust and yet (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun)
G
I'll pray to Jesus that this sinking feeling won't succeed (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun)
C
And I'll have a zest for life like when I was 18 (Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun)
[Chorus: RAYE & Grandad Michael]
G
You see? (You see?; Free)
C
I just wanna be free (I just wanna be free; Free)
G
Free of every single care (Every single care)
C
In a field of golden and red
Em
And every burden that weighs on me (Ah)
D
Will fall away like a soft rain
G
And fall into a stream (Stream)
C
In fields of golden and green (Green)
[Verse 3: RAYE, Grandad Michael & Both]
Grandad
G C
Hello, Rachel, seems to been a while since we last spoken
G
There's no today passes by when I don't think of you
C
You asked me if I ever get lonely
G
You can feel lonely in a crowded room
C
Spoken like a true poet, grandad is a songwriter, you see?
G
We were both born little with big dreams and he'd tell me stories
C
How back in his day, he (I) wrote and he (I) wrote till his (My) hands wrecked with pain
Em D
And he said something to me and brought these tears to my eyes, he said
Who will hear my songs when I die?
G
And I told him, "Grandad, so long as God gives me life
C G
I will practice your song and I will give it my best try"
[Chorus: RAYE]
G
See? (Free)
C
I just wanna be free, yeah (Free)
G
Free of every single care (Every single care)
C
In a field of golden and red
Em
And every burden that weighs on me (Ah)
D
Will fall away like a soft rain
G
And fall into a stream (Stream)
C
In fields of golden and green (Green)
G F C
In fields of golden and (Free)
[Outro: RAYE & Grandad Michael]
D G
I don't wanna be crying (Won't be crying no more)
F C
(No more, no more, no more, no more)
G G F C
I just wanna be (I'm joyful)
G
(I don't wanna feel sad no more)
F C
I don't want to be sad no more
G
I just wanna be free (For music is medicine, as you cried from your soul)
N.c
I don't wanna be (I'm crying)
I don't want to be crying (As you set sail with your tent, will you tore up the world?)
I don't wanna be sad no more (No more, no more, no more, no more)
I just want to live glory love (And never forget, my love, you'll always be grandad's
Little girl)
