[Verse 1]
F      Bb      F         C
I can see me bound and gagged,

F          Bb        F     C
Dragged behind the clownmobile,

F         Bb      F      C
You can treat me like a dog

        F       Bb   Am  C       F
If you make me feel what others feel.
[Chorus]
Dm        C       Bb        F
You can train me, you can drain me,

Bb      F       C
If you make me lose control.

        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
I will be your prisoner, I will be your hostage-o.

        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
I will be your prisoner, I will be your hostage-o.
[Verse 2]
F        Bb      F     C
All you have to do is ask,

F        Bb    F      C
I'll be happy to say yes.

F        Bb       F     C
I'll put on the creepy mask,

            F       Bb  Am  C     F
If you'll grant me some forgetfulness.
[Chorus]
Dm         C        Bb      F
You can strain me, you can maim me,

Bb        F      C
You can chain me to the floor.

        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
I will be your prisoner, I will be your hostage-o.

        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
I will be your prisoner, I will be your hostage-o.
[Bridge]
          Dm           C   F
And this loneliness unbearable,

        F       A7     Dm  Bb
And it all goes by so slow.

         F                    C
I will stand in line for the sacrifice,

          F                      Bb
For the shame-faced love of the ugly vice,

      F                Bb      F         C
I'll pay the price to see how far you'll go.
[Interlude]
        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
Let me be your prisoner, let me be your hostage-o.
F Bb F C [Verse 3]
F      Bb     F         C
I can see me bound and gagged,

F          Bb        F     C
Dragged behind the clownmobile,

F         Bb      F      C
You can treat me like a dog

        F       Bb   Am  C       F
If you make me feel what others feel.
[Chorus]
Dm         C        Bb         F
You can sprain me, you can't blame me,

Bb      F       C
If you make me lose control.

        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
I will be your prisoner, I will be your hostage-o.

        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
I will be your prisoner, I will be your hostage-o.

        F        Bb              F       C      F  Bb F C
I will be your prisoner, I will be your hostage-o.
