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