Intro:
Am


Verse:
  Am                           G               Am
I used to dream in color and I wished away the days
 Am                                  G
Waiting on the slightest chance that I would get to play
   Am                               G             Am
A gilded harp, a silver horn with a bonny tune to sing
  Am                            G                 Am
A place inside a golden hall to prance around the king

Chorus:
     G                       Am
When I was young I wished to be
C                   F
Up to my neck in a fantasy
          C            Dm            Am
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line?
G                      Em   Am
Let the devils hold it over me


Interlude:
Am     G      Am

Am     G  Em  Am


Verse:
Am                                G              Am
Is it a crime to live when you cannot afford the means?
Am                                   G
Is it a crime to walk the earth like ravenous machines?
   Am                           G               Am
Is there a way to bridge a gap across a great divide?
   Am                             G                Am
Is it a secret thrill to know the gods are on your side?


Chorus:
     G                       Am
When I was young I wished to be
C                   F
A landed man with a back forty
          C            Dm             Am
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line?
G                      Em   Am
Let the devils hold it over me

Em                        D         G                    C
The smoke still clouds my wits. The stink still fills my pores
         Am                         Em             D              D
From the night they kicked down the door, down the door, down the door
Em                        D         G                     C
The blood still stains my lips. The grief still chafes my soul
   Am                          Em                 D                  D
My pride was raked through the coals, through the coals, through the coals
Em            D           G                C
Yonder prison walls, they own my flesh and bones
       Am                 Em           D           D
But my thoughts are mine alone, mine alone, mine alone
