[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G I can't take the criticism C I'm eaten up with cynicism Em Am D7 All the colors in the prism 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 Am D7 A frozen heart and frozen 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 G I can smell fresh blood from miles 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 Am D7 I'm a booty-shaker tired of 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 D7 I'm a deflated basketball, no 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 Am D7 All the dirty secrets in my quilt, 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 D7 Can my filthy soul take a bath in 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
