Intro:
Am F C Em
Verse 1:
Am F
I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside
C Em
I'm just tenant, paying rent inside this body and I
Am F
Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes
C Em
I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide
Pre-Chorus:
Am F
Sometimes I think to much, yeah, I get so caught up
C Em
I'm always stuck in my head
Am F
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
C Em
Took all the sheets off my bed
Chorus:
Am F C
Then I tied up my linen with five stripes of ribbon I found
Am
Scaled the side of the building
F C
I ran to the hills till they found me
Am
And they put me back in my cell
F C
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
Am F C
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
Verse 2:
Am F
So they tranquillized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage
C Em
Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane
Am F
I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain
C Em
And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains
Pre-Chorus:
Am F
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up
C
I'm always stuck in my head
Am F
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
C
Took all the sheets off my bed

Am F C
Then I tied up my linen with five stripes of ribbon I found

Bridge:
Am F
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do

I'm never gonna escape

I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
C Em
And try for another day

Said even if it's true, no matter what I do

I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
C Em
And try for another day
