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

[Eb]And they put me [Ab]back in my cell
[Fm]All by myself
[Cm]Alone with my thoughts again[Eb]

And [Fm]I'm never gonna get [Cm]out
Bridge:
[Ab]Said even if it's true
[Fm]No matter what I do
[Cm]I'm never gonna escape[Eb]
[Ab]I won't give up on hope
[Fm]Secure another rope
[Cm]And try for another day[Eb]
[Ab]Said even if it's true
[Fm]No matter what I do
[Cm]I'm never gonna escape[Eb]
[Ab]I won't give up on hope
[Fm]Secure another rope
[Cm]And try for another day[Eb]
