Verse 1:
FF DmDm
I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside
A minorAm C majorC
I'm just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I
FF DmDm
Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes
A minorAm C majorC
I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide
Pre-Chorus:
FF DmDm
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up
A minorAm
I'm always stuck in my head
FF DmDm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
A minorAm
Took all the sheets off my bed
Chorus:
FF DmDm A minorAm
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
FF
Scaled the side of the building
DmDm A minorAm
I ran to the hills till they found me
FF
And they put me back in my cell
DmDm A minorAm
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
FF DmDm A minorAm
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
Verse 2:
FF DmDm
So they tranquilized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage
A minorAm C majorC
Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane

I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain
A minorAm C majorC
And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains

FF DmDm
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up

FF DmDm
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

And try for another day

I'm never gonna escape

And try for another day
