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