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