Verse 1:
Em                         G
They won't let us keep the laces in our shoes
     C                       Am
They say it's voluntary, but they won't let us choose
Em                         G
Looking through the glass, all that I can see
  C                       Am
Reflection of the man who threw away the key

Pre-chorus:
Em                         G
I'm on my hands and knees, who's gonna come for me?
C                      Am
Tell all the magazines I'm a celebrity
Em                         G
They got their eyes on me, I'll never let 'em see
C                      Am
Forty to life, I'll be dead by the time I leave

Chorus:
C        Am            E                 G
Somebody take me home, they're trying to bury me
C         Am            E          G
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
C        Am            E           G
Somebody take me home, I'm not the enemy
C         Am            E          G
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
C         Am            E          G

Me and all my friends, we all know the drill
     C                            Am
They got to pay the rent, so they try to keep us ill
Em                      G
Must have seen too much in the blotted ink
C                              Am
I'ma shave my head and wash my secrets down the sink

Pre-chorus:
Em                      G
Checking my face to see where they've been mocking me
C                      Am
Forty to life, I'll be dead by the time I leave

C        Am            E                 G
Somebody take me home, they're trying to bury me

I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
C        Am            E           G
Somebody take me home, I'm not the enemy
C         Am            E          G
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee

                              Em
I won't trust my eyes until I make it to the other side
C
Come and pick me up, pick me up, be my ride or die
G                         Em
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
