Neal Morse - Freak

      
 
 Chorus 1 
 
    E                                    C#m                    
 My tongue is the pen of a ready writer; I've got so much to say
     E                                       C#m           
 I'm not schizophrenic I just haven't had my medicine today
 A                                                    
 People they act like they've never seen a king before
     F#m                                    B           F#   
 But when I just am that I am they tell me "there's the door"
 
 Refrain 
 
              B    
 Cause I am a freak
 
 A riddle
     G#m                     
 The kind you love too little
          E                       
 I am the one you call "the other"
     C#m                      
 You can't take home to mother
          B    
 I am the angst
 
 Provider
     G#m              
 The ultimate outsider
             E                        
 And I'm not welcome where the work is
             C#m                         
 Not in your homes or in your churches...
 
 Chorus 2 
 
    E                                     C#m            
 My tongue is the pen and I feel inspired unusually today
    E                                                C#m                     
 My bed at the bridge kept me warm all night til the sky turned cold and gray
    A                                                     
 At noon on the corner I shout out words they can't ignore
      F#m                                 B           F#     
 Cuz' nobody sees they're too busy making money, kids and war
 
 Refrain 
 
              B    
 Cause I am a freak

 Bridge 
 
 C#m      A    
 Cry me a river
         E         G#m   
 With an ocean all around
 A       F#m            E               B  F# E 
 So many strangers live right among you now
                        B  F# E 
 There right here right now
 
 Refrain 
 
            B    
 But I am a freak
 
 A riddle
   G#m                   
 I may have just a little
                  E                  
 But I might be a savior or a brother
   C#m                       
 A someone's long lost mother
           B                      
 Maybe I'm not like the scriptures
     G#m                      
 And I don't fit your pictures
              E                      
 But maybe an angel's come between us
 Who knows?
            E       F# 
 I might be Jesus...
