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

All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
           A                   Gbm                  Dbm
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
