In my prison cell I think these words

F F/G F/A       F/Bb  C   C/D  C/E  C
I was careless, I can see that now

          Dm    G  C       F       Bb  Eb  G
I must be silent,  must contain my secret smile

  C       Dm   G     C      F       Bb  Eb G    C
I want to tell you - you my mirror, you my iron bars
[Pre-Chorus]
Am               Bb           C      Dm
   When I made a shadow on my window shade

Eb                 G               C   Bb
   They called the police and testified

Am                      Bb                C      Dm
   But they're like the people chained up in the cave

G                        Bb            C
  In the allegory of the people in the cave by the Greek guy

no one knows my    plan

        Dm    G   C        F       Bb      Eb G
why the dancing, shouting; why the shrieks of pain

    C      Dm   G  C      F         Bb   Eb G     C
the lovely music - why the smell of burning autumn leaves
