Em              G5
In the naked city

Em                     G5
Spaces ain't that pretty

Em                    G5
As I was getting dusted

Em                     G5
I happened to get busted

Em                    G5
Oh, yes, I was arrested

Em                    G5
Oh God, how I protested

Em                      G5
They beat me with a board

Em                      G5
It hurt just like a sword

Em                      G5
They kicked me in the eye

Em                  G5
My brain began to fry

Em                 G5
This is like a movie

Em                    G5
I know I'm gonna scream

Em                     G5
All the pain that I feel

Em               G5
Makes me feel mean

Em                       G5
It's so sad and crazy here

Em                  G5
I think I'm gonna cry

Em                           G5
If I don't wake up from this dream

Em
I think I'm gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, ah!

Em               D5
  Behind the bars, there's a superstar

C5                D5
  Who never had a chance

                          Em
She could sing, she could dance

Em                       E5 Em         E5 Em
You don't sing and dance in juvie, honey

Behind the fence, there's no defense

C5                         D5
  There's murder, rape and bribery

            Em
In and out, burglary

Em             E5 Em  E5
You don't look so tough

Em

Em
Okay, Cherie, what's the plan?

Em                D5
You grab the guard, in the prison yard

  Get his keys and gun, we'll run

                             E5   Em
My old man's waiting outside in a van

Em

[Verse 7] N.C. We'll go far through the prison yard N.C. You and me, we will be free N.C. Just be safe, don't be late N.C. If you see the guard don't hesitate N.C. But Joan, I'm getting tired N.C. I've run out of fire N.C. I can't go any farther N.C. But Cherie, you must try harder N.C. Joan, I'm down, my ankle N.C. I can't go on, but I can't leave you N.C. What do I do? N.C. Save yourself, you gotta save yourself N.C. You know what you gotta do N.C. Oh my God! [Outro] E5 D5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 D5 C5 Em F#5 G5 G#5 D5 C5 Em F#5 G5 G#5 Em
