F Dm Am C
[Strophe]
                    F                                   Dm 
I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside 
           Am                              C 
I'm just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I 
        F                                    Dm 
Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes 
         Am                                  C 
I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide
[Pre-Refrain]
F                           Dm 
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up 
Am                      C 
I'm always stuck in my head 
F                      Dm 
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday 
Am                          C 
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Refrain]
       F                     Dm                      Am    C 
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found 
           F 
Scaled the side of the building 
  Dm                         Am 
I ran to the hills till they found me 
C                F 
And they put me back in my cell 
Dm              Am                      C 
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again 
           F                    Dm                  Am 
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
[Strophe]
            F                                  Dm 
So they tranquilized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage 
          Am                        C 
Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane 
      F                     Dm 
I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain 
       Am                            C 
And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains
[Pre-Refrain]
F                           Dm 
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up 
Am                      C 
I'm always stuck in my head 
F                      Dm 
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday 
Am                          C 
Took all the sheets off my bed
[Refrain]
       F                     Dm                      Am    C 
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found 
           F 
Scaled the side of the building 
  Dm                         Am 
I ran to the hills till they found me 
C                F 
And they put me back in my cell 
Dm              Am                      C 
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again 
           F                    Dm                  Am 
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
[Pont]
F                       Dm 
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do 
Am                 C 
I'm never gonna escape 
F                        Dm 
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope 
Am                   C 
And try for another day 
F                       Dm 
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do 
Am                C 
I'm never gonna escape 
F                        Dm 
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope 
Am                   C 
And try for another day
[Refrain]
       F                     Dm                      Am    C 
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found 
           F 
Scaled the side of the building 
  Dm                         Am 
I ran to the hills till they found me 
 C               F 
And they put me back in my cell 
Dm              Am                      C 
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again 
           F                    Dm                  Am 
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
