Mind Is A Prision

[Intro] F  Dm  Am  C

[First Part]

                    F           
I don't live in California, I'll 
                        Dm
inform you, that's not where I 
reside
           Am                 
I'm just a tenant, paying rent 
             C
inside this body and I
        F                          
Got two windows and those windows, 
          Dm
well I'll call them my eyes
         Am                        
I'm just going where the wind 
          C
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   
Then I tied up my linen with five 
                   Am
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
I guess my mind is a prison and 
                  Am
I'm never gonna get out

[Second Part]

            F                    
So they tranquilized me, analyzed 
              Dm
me, threw me back in my cage
          Am                       
Then they tied me to an IV, told me
 C
 I was insane
      F                     Dm
I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of 
my brain
       Am                          
And no matter what I do, they try 
  C
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

                F

           F                    Dm

                  Am
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]

                  Am
I'm never gonna get out
