[Intro]
F Dm Am C
[Verse]
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 C
I'm always stuck in my head
F Dm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
Am C
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Chorus]
F Dm Am C
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
C F
And they put me back in my cell
Dm Am C
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]
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 C
I'm always stuck in my head
F Dm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
Am C
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Chorus]
F Dm Am C
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
C F
And they put me back in my cell
Dm Am C
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 C
I'm never gonna escape
F Dm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
Am C
And try for another day
F Dm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do
Am C
I'm never gonna escape
F Dm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
Am C
And try for another day
[Chorus]
F Dm Am C
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
C F
And they put me back in my cell
Dm Am C
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
