Chords

[Intro] E E E E E E E [Verse 1]
E
   In the s**thouse a shotgun

E
   Praying hands hold me down

E
   If only the hunter was hunted

E                                   
   In this tin can town, tin can town

E
   No stars in the black night

E
   Looks like the sky fall down

E
   No sun in the daylight, looks like it's

E
   Chained to the ground, chained to the ground
[Chorus]
E                        A
    The warden says "The exit's sold."

       B                   A
If you want a way out...

   Broken nose to the floor

E                                  A
   I scream at the silence, it's crawling

E                             A
   Crawls under the door

E                                     A
   There's a rope around my neck, and

E                                 A
   There's a trigger in your gun

E                         A
   Jesus, say something!

E                  A          E   A
   I am someone, I am someone
[Chorus]
E                     A
   Captains and Kings in the ship's hold

     B                A
They came to collect

   I seen the coming and the going

Em
Seen the captains and the Kings

   Bright and shiny things, bright and shiny things
[Instrumental] A E A [Verse 3]
E                            A
  The temperature is rising

E                     A
  The fever white hot

E                            A
  Mister I ain't got nothing, but it's

E                      A
  More than you've got

E                                A
  These chains no longer bind me

E                              A
  Nor the shackles at my feet
