[Intro] F Dm Am C [Verse 1]
                    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-Chorus]
F                           Dm
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up

Am                      C
I'm always stuck in my head

F                      Dm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday

Am                          C
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Chorus]
       F                     Dm                      Am    C
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

C                F
And they put me back in my cell

Dm              Am                      C
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
[Verse 2]
            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-Chorus]
F                           Dm
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up

Am                      C
I'm always stuck in my head

F                      Dm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday

Am                          C
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Chorus]
       F                     Dm                      Am    C
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

C                F
And they put me back in my cell

Dm              Am                      C
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
[Bridge]
F                       Dm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do

Am                 C
I'm never gonna escape

F                        Dm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope

Am                   C
And try for another day

F                       Dm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do

Am                C
I'm never gonna escape

F                        Dm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope

Am                   C
And try for another day
[Chorus]
       F                     Dm                      Am    C
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

 C               F
And they put me back in my cell

Dm              Am                      C
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
