Locked Up

G

[Verse]

G
I can't take the criticism
    C
I'm eaten up with cynicism
Em                          Am   
All the colors in the prism 
       D7
entering my eyes
C           D7        G
Still can't change my mind

      G
I'm a stubborn goat getting older
  C
A cube of ice getting colder
  Em                               
A frozen heart and frozen 
  Am                D7
shoulders, that is what I've got
C            D7   G
A sweetheart I am not

         G              C
Now I'll soften when it pays the 
bills
     G             C
I'll love you in exchange for 
thrills
    G              C
Our service calls, withdrawal kills
      G                      C     
I can smell fresh blood from miles 
G
away

[Chorus]

G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up this way,
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up this way
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this, oh, 
no,
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up this way

[Verse]

G
Now I have been their slave but I'm 
tired of workin'
C
A jackhammer tired of jerking
      Em                   
I'm a booty-shaker tired of 
           Am                    D7
twerking, you can laugh all you want
C                    D7      G
Soon enough, though, I'll be gone

      G
I'm a dying fly on the wall
      C
I'm a teenage girl who just won't 
call
      Em                      Am  
I'm a deflated basketball, no 
         D7
needle to be found
C          D7         G
And I just want to be round

[Bridge]

         G              C
So I can roam, so I can bounce
         Am               D7
So I can roll out of this town

[Chorus]

        C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this,
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up this way, oh, 
no,
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this

[Verse]

            G
Now I'm the worst ship that was ever
 built
          C
I started sinking soon as the 
champagne spilled
        Em                         
All the dirty secrets in my quilt, 
           Am              D7
they won't come out in the wash
    C    D7       G
Somebody help, my gosh

      G
I'm a beating heart off the beaten 
path
    C
The god of shame, fear my wrath
       Em                      Am 
Can my filthy soul take a bath in 
             D7
the light of you?
C      D7       G
In the light of truth?
C      D7       G
In the light of you

[Chorus]

G           C         D7      G
No, I can't be locked up like this,
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up this way, oh, 
no,
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this,
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this (Oh, 
no),
G       C         D7      G
I can't be locked up like this
