Intro: Ab Fm Cm Eb Verse 1: Ab Fm I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside Cm Eb I'm just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I Ab Fm Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes Cm Eb I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide Pre-chorus: Ab Fm Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up Cm I'm always stuck in my head Ab Fm I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday Cm Took all the sheets off my bed Chorus: Ab Fm Cm Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found Ab Scaled the side of the building Fm Cm I ran to the hills till they found me Ab And they put me back in my cell Fm Cm All by myself, alone with my thoughts again Ab Fm Cm I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out Verse 2: Ab Fm So they tranquilized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage Cm Eb Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane Ab Fm I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain Cm Eb And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains Pre-chorus: Ab Fm Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up Cm I'm always stuck in my head Ab Fm I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday Cm Took all the sheets off my bed Chorus: Ab Fm Cm Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found Ab Scaled the side of the building Fm Cm I ran to the hills till they found me Ab And they put me back in my cell Fm Cm All by myself, alone with my thoughts again Ab Fm Cm I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out Bridge: Ab Fm Said even if it's true, no matter what I do Cm I'm never gonna escape Ab Fm I won't give up on hope, secure another rope Cm And try for another day Ab Fm Said even if it's true, no matter what I do Cm I'm never gonna escape Ab Fm I won't give up on hope, secure another rope Cm And try for another day Chorus: Ab Fm Cm Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found Ab Scaled the side of the building Fm Cm I ran to the hills till they found me Ab And they put me back in my cell Fm Cm All by myself, alone with my thoughts again Ab Fm Cm I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

It runs d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 100 bpm. This arrangement is in Ab major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Use a light island strum and let the verse lines breathe.
