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

Took all the sheets off my bed

Bridge:
Ab Fm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do
Cm
I'm never gonna escape
Ab Fm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
Cm
And try for another day
Ab Fm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do
Cm
I'm never gonna escape
Ab Fm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
