[intro]
G#  Fm  Cm  D#

[verse 1]
                    G#
I don't live in California,
                             Fm
I'll inform you, that's not where I reside
           Cm
I'm just a tenant,
                        D#
paying rent inside this body and I
        G#
Got two windows and those windows,
           Fm
well I'll call them my eyes
         Cm
I'm just going where the wind blows,
        D#
I don't get to decide

[pre-chorus]
G#
Sometimes
                   Fm
I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up
Cm                      D#
I'm always stuck in my head
G#                      Fm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
Cm                          D#
Took all the sheets off my bed

[chorus]
       G#
Then I tied up my linen
      Fm                      Cm    D#
with five strips of ribbon I found
           G#
Scaled the side of the building
  Fm                         Cm
I ran to the hills till they found me
D#                G#
And they put me back in my cell
Fm              Cm                      D#
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
           G#
I guess my mind is a prison
     Fm                  Cm
and I'm never gonna get out

[verse 2]
            G#
So they tranquilized me, analyzed me,
         Fm
threw me back in my cage
          Cm                        D#
Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane
      G#                     Fm
I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain
       Cm
And no matter what I do,
            D#
they try to keep me in chains

[pre-chorus]
G#
Sometimes I think too much,
 Fm
yeah, I get so caught up
Cm                      D#
I'm always stuck in my head
G#                      Fm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
Cm                          D#
Took all the sheets off my bed

[chorus]
       G#

      Fm                      Cm    D#

Fm              Cm                      D#

           G#
I guess my mind is a prison
     Fm                  Cm
and I'm never gonna get out

[bridge]
G#                       Fm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do
Cm                 D#
I'm never gonna escape
G#                        Fm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
Cm                   D#
And try for another day
G#                       Fm
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do
Cm                D#
I'm never gonna escape
G#                        Fm
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope
Cm                   D#
And try for another day
