Asylum Music and Lyrics by: John Larkin
[Intro]
Aadd9 Aadd9 Aadd9 Aadd9
[Verse 1]
Aadd9 Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7
Drawing out side the lines,
Aadd9 Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7 Aadd9
Can’t seem to get this right.
Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7 Aadd9
The colors are bleeding down my skin,
Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7
To the floor,
Aadd9 Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7
Point me to the door,
Aadd9 Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7
They won’t let me out,
G6 Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7 Em G
Until I be- ha- ve.
[refrain]
Cmaj7 G/E
And I won’t get this right,
Em G Cmaj7
Un-less I fake it,
G/E D Em
I just might make it,
[Chorus]
G Cmaj7
Outside of the Asylum
G/E Em G Cmaj7
I just might make it beyond those walls
G/E D Em Em Em Em
That are hol- ding me in.
[Verse 2]
Aadd9 Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7 Aadd9
The canvas is empty
Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7
With my empty dreams of free- dom
G6 Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7
The palette is hard and crus- ty,
Asus Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7
My thoughts are old and mus- ty,
G6 Cmaj7
My soul is rusty
Aadd9 Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7
And in ill repair,
Aadd9 Cmaj7
They tell me,
G6 Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7
They have a cure,
Asus Cmaj7 Em G
I endure the pain
[Refrain]
Cmaj7 B/E
And I won’t get this right,
Em G Cmaj7
Unless I fake it,
B/E D Em
I just might make it,
[Chorus]
G Cmaj7
Outside of the Asylum
B/E Em G Cmaj7
I just might make it beyond those walls
B/E D Em
That are hol- ding me in.
G Cmaj7
And I won’t get this right,
B/E Em G Cmaj7
Unless I fake it, fake it, fake it
B/E D Em Em Em Em
I just might make it,
[Bridge 1]
Em G Cmaj7 B/E
One more time….
Em G Cmaj7 B/E
For- ever locked away,
D Em G Cmaj7
In to the Asylum,
B/E Em G Cmaj7 B/E D Em Em Em Em
I will stay… I will stay….
[Verse 3]
Aadd9 Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7
Drawing out side the lines,
Aadd9 Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7 Aadd9
Can’t seem to get this right.
Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7 Aadd9
The colors are bleeding down my skin,
Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7
To the floor,
Aadd9 Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7
Point me to the door,
Aadd9 Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7
They won’t let me out,
G6 Cmaj7 Aadd9 Cmaj7 Asus Cmaj7 Em Em Em Em
Until I be- ha- ve.

Forever locked away,

I will stay… I will stay…. I will stay….
