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

           Gb
Scaled the side of the building
  Ebm                         Bbm
I ran to the hills till they found me
                Gb
And they put me back in my cell
Ebm              Bbm
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
           Gb                   Ebm                  Bbm
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
 
Bridge:
Gb                      Ebm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do
Bbm
I'm never gonna escape
Gb                       Ebm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
Bbm
And try for another day
Gb                      Ebm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do
Bbm
I'm never gonna escape
Gb                       Ebm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
Bbm
And try for another day
