Mind Is A Prision

[Intro] F  Dm  Am  C

[Primera Parte]

                    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-Estribillo]

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

[Estribillo]

       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

[Segunda Parte]

            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-Estribillo]

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

                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

[Puente]

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
