A D A D (REPEAT 8X)
[Verse 1]
A D A D Six by six, from wall to wall E A E A Shutters on the windows, no light at all B Em B Em Damp on the floor, you got damp in the bed D G D G They're trying to get you crazy, get you out of your head A D A D And they feed you scraps and they feed you lies E A E A To lower your defences, no compromise B Em B Em Nothing you can do, the day can be long D G D G Your mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong
[Pre-Chorus]
A D A D E A E A Hold on hold on B Em B Em D G D G Hold on hold on A D A D E A E A Hold on hold on B Em B Em They put you in a box so you can't get hurt D G D G Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
[Chorus]
A G D G Em D Hold on you have gambled with your own life Bm A G D And you face the night alone G Em D While the builders of the cages Bm A G D Sleep with bullets, bars and stone G Em D They do not see your road to freedom Bm A That you build with flesh and bone
[Verse 2]
A D A D They take you out and the light burns your eyes E A E A To the talking room, it's no surprise B Em B Em Loaded questions from the clean white coats D G D G Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath A D A D They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest E A E A You want to resist them, you do your best B Em B Em They take you to your limits, they take you beyond D G D G For all that they are doing there's no way to respond
[Pre-Chorus]
A D A D E A E A Hold on hold on B Em B Em They put you in a box so you can't get hurt D G D G Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
[Chorus]
A G D G Em D Hold on you have gambled with your own life Bm A G D And you face the night alone G Em D While the builders of the cages Bm A G Sleep with bullets, bars and stone D G Em D They do not see your road to freedom Bm D That you build with flesh and bone
