[Intro] Am F C Em [Verse 1]
                    Am                                  F
I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside

         C                               Em
I'm just tenant, paying rent inside this body and I

        Am                                    F
Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes

         C                                   Em
I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                         F
Sometimes I think to much, yeah, I get so caught up

C                      Em
I'm always stuck in my head

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

C                          Em
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Chorus]
       Am                    F                        C
Then I tied up my linen with five stripes of ribbon I found

           Am
Scaled the side of the building

  F                          C
I ran to the hills till they found me

                Am
And they put me back in my cell

F              C
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again

           Am                   F                   C
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
[Verse 2]
        Am                             F
So they tranquillized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage

          C                         Em
Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane

      Am                  F
I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain

       C                      Em
And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                         F
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up

C
I'm always stuck in my head

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

C
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Chorus]
       Am                    F                        C
Then I tied up my linen with five stripes of ribbon I found

           Am
Scaled the side of the building

  F                          C
I ran to the hills till they found me

                Am
And they put me back in my cell

F              C
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again

           Am                   F                   C
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
[Bridge]
     Am                 F
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do

C                   Em
I'm never gonna escape

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

C                   Em
And try for another day

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

C               Em
I'm never gonna escape

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

C                   Em
And try for another day
[Chorus]
       Am                    F                        C
Then I tied up my linen with five stripes of ribbon I found

           Am
Scaled the side of the building

  F                          C
I ran to the hills till they found me

                Am
And they put me back in my cell

F              C
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again

           Am                   F                   C                   Em      A
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
