AmC These prison blues a standard issue Even when our shirts ain't blue F We've got shake downs on a daily shanks and ropes she snitches too AmC Those bars lockin' down a cell block Warden's yellin' down the hall F Was you gonna make my prison thicker Higher sharper wall
DmF I lift that hammer hammer's heavy and let that fall upon the stone CG And let that shake these chains that bind me and build these walls I call my home DmF I've got scars that poorly mended and I don't seem to fit no more CG Yet I wake myself each morning just prepare for what's in store
AmC So tonight it's cold cold as bullets Keys walk up and down my tear F Tell myself the end is coming soon To chase away the fear AmC That same fear that's got me drinkin' and put these tracks all down my arm F That same fear's been inside me ever since I was born
DmF I lift that hammer hammer's heavy and let that fall upon the stone CG And let that shake these chains that bind me and build these walls I call my home DmF I've got scars that poorly mended and I don't seem to fit no more CG Yet I wake myself each morning just prepare for what's in store for me
Freedom's just a distant memory I lose more and more each day Can't forgive the man inside me My tranquility is gone Every day's like every other x3 Every day's like let me out of here Let me out of here Let me out of here now Ive run my rout in here They knocked me down in here Let me out of here x3 Let me breath let me go now you want you said so Let me out of here Just let me go far away
