VERSE 1
********

Lying here, watching the time pass
                                      Dm           C
I could think of a million things I'd rather do

Travel at my own pace
                             G      F
Put myself asleep if I wanted to

CHORUS
*******
                             Am
Might as well be behind bars
        Dm7         F                 C
Than be lashed to a wave that I can't haul
                     Bb
I might as well be a slave
      F          C                 G
Lying low in the shade of a prison wall

VERSE 2
********

Lying here, watching the time pass
                                       Dm           C
I could cry for the helping hands that I refused

We were good friends
            G
But I did refuse


E|E|---------------||--------
CHORUS
*******
    F                            Am
Ooh, I might as well be behind bars
        Dm7         F                    C
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
                     Bb
I might as well be a slave
         F             C                 G
Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall

VERSE 3
********

Down here, down where the end is
                                  Dm
You absolve me from every crime I ever planned
      C
I was so surprised
                                 G           F
I did not think that you would understand

                            Am
I might as well be behind bars
        Dm7      F        C
Growing old in a carpeted hall
                     Bb
I might as well be a slave
       F               C              G
Always safe out of the rain in prison walls

    F                            Am
Ooh, I might as well be behind bars
        Dm7         F                    C
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
                     Bb
I might as well be a slave
         F             C                 G
Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall
