Lyrics
Independent Mind
Verse one:
Am Dm Em Em Am Dm Em Em Am Dm Em Em
There are tear stains on my electric guitar too many broken hearts. Too many girls let guys treat
Am Dm Em Em
them like their property.
Prechorus:
F G
I'm not your property
Chorus:
Am C E Dm Am C E Dm Am
My soul is mine my soul is mine my soul is mine my life is mine my life is mine this life is mine
C E Dm Am C E
And even if you attach me to a ball and chain you can't take away you can't take away
Dm Am C E Dm Am C E Dm
My independent mind my independent mind my independent mind
Verse 2:
Am Dm E E Am Dm E E
There was a girl who could've traveled the world she wanted to marry a man
Am DM E E
Who cheated on her instead
Prechorus:
F G
She should've picked the world over him
Chorus:
Am C E Dm Am C E Dm Am
My soul is mine my soul is mine my soul is mine my life is mine my life is mine this life is mine
C E Dm Am C E
And even if you attach me to a ball and chain you can't take away you can't take away
Dm Am C E Dm Am C E Dm
My independent mind my independent mind my independent mind
Bridge:
C E Am
Can't take away my independent mind
C E Am
All my choices are mine
C E Am
Even if you think otherwise
C E Am
I'd like to see you try
F G
To take away my independent mind
Chorus:
Am C E Dm Am C E Dm Am
My soul is mine my soul is mine my soul is mine my life is mine my life is mine this life is mine
C E Dm Am C E
And even if you attach me to a ball and chain you can't take away you can't take away
Dm Am C E Dm Am C E Dm
My independent mind my independent mind my independent mind
Small bridge:
C E Am
Can't take away my independent mind
C E Am
I'd like to see you try
