Chords with lyrics

Song: Locked Inside
Album: The ArchAndroid


       BMaj7Bmaj7
I'm locked inside
 C# minorC#m         EbmEbm
A augmentedA land called foolish pride
     F minorFm      BMaj7Bmaj7
Where the man is always right
      C# minorC#m        EbmEbm
He hates to talk but loves to fight
      F minorFm
Is that all right?

       BMaj7Bmaj7
On real cold days
  C# minorC#m       EbmEbm
He loans us lots of hate
    F minorFm        BMaj7Bmaj7
But he says that we must pay
      C# minorC#m        EbmEbm
To take it all away
    F minorFm
Is that ok?

    BMaj7Bmaj7        C# minorC#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
    EbmEbm        F minorFm
In this land where we are free
    BMaj7Bmaj7        C# minorC#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
    EbmEbm        F minorFm
But one day we'll be happy


Bridge:
    C#sus4C#sus4           F#Maj7F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7Dmaj7                Amaj7Amaj7
Hearts of hatred rule the land While others left outside
C majorC                Gmaj7Gmaj7
Killing, bleeding citizen while music slowly dies
     E MajorE     D MajorD      E MajorE     D MajorD
And I get frightened I, see I get frightened I

Chorus:
Bmja7           C# minorC#m
Oh how, oh how I need you baby
            EbmEbm
You keep me from going crazy
         F minorFm
I really need you baby, need you to stay
Bmja7           C# minorC#m
Oh how, oh how I love you baby
          EbmEbm
These people are so crazy
         F minorFm
I really need you baby, need you to stay

BMaj7Bmaj7
She always fights
    C# minorC#m       EbmEbm
For her man but not her rights
   F minorFm       BMaj7Bmaj7
Even though it's 3005
       C# minorC#m     EbmEbm
When will we end this genocide?
        F minorFm
And that's not right

      BMaj7Bmaj7
Her children cry
      C# minorC#m        EbmEbm
No food to eat and afraid as flies
     F minorFm           BMaj7Bmaj7
The color black means its time to die
   C# minorC#m      EbmEbm
And nobody questions why
         F minorFm
Cause they're too scared to stop them now

    BMaj7Bmaj7        C# minorC#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
    EbmEbm        F minorFm
In this land where we are free
    BMaj7Bmaj7        C# minorC#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
    EbmEbm        F minorFm
But one day we'll be happy

    C#sus4C#sus4           F#Maj7F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7Dmaj7               Amaj7Amaj7
Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles
  C majorC                Gmaj7Gmaj7
The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies
      E MajorE    D MajorD         E MajorE    D MajorD
To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside

 Father, fill me with desire

BMaj7Bmaj7     C# minorC#m
 I can make a change

 Father, fill me with desire
