[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am G Am
I used to dream in color and I wished away the days
Am G
Waiting on the slightest chance that I would get to play
Am G Am
A gilded harp, a silver horn with a bonny tune to sing
Am G Am
A place inside a golden hall to prance around the king
[Chorus]
G Am
When I was young I wished to be
C F
Up to my neck in a fantasy
C Dm Am
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line?
G Em Am
Let the devils hold it over me
[Interlude]
Am G Am
Am G Em Am
[Verse]
Am G Am
Is it a crime to live when you cannot afford the means?
Am G
Is it a crime to walk the earth like ravenous machines?
Am G Am
Is there a way to bridge a gap across a great divide?
Am G Am
Is it a secret thrill to know the gods are on your side?
[Chorus]
G Am
When I was young I wished to be
C F
A landed man with a back forty
C Dm Am
Why did I sign on that bloody dotted line?
G Em Am
Let the devils hold it over me

Am Em D D
Em D G C
The smoke still clouds my wits. The stink still fills my pores
Am Em D D
From the night they kicked down the door, down the door, down the door
Em D G C
The blood still stains my lips. The grief still chafes my soul
Am Em D D
My pride was raked through the coals, through the coals, through the coals
Em D G C
Yonder prison walls, they own my flesh and bones
Am Em D D
But my thoughts are mine alone, mine alone, mine alone
