[Ab] [Fm] [Cm] [Eb] I don't live in [Ab] California, I'll inform you [Fm] that's not where I reside
I'm [Cm] just a tenant paying rent [Eb] inside this body and I
[Ab] Got two windows and those windows, [Fm] well I call them my eyes
[C] I'm just going [Cm] where the wind blows, [Eb] I don't get to decide
[Ab] Sometimes I think too [Fm] much, yeah I get so caught [C] up
I'm [Cm] always stuck in [Eb] my [Ab] head
I wish I could [Fm] escape, I tried to [Cm] yesterday
Took all the sheets off [Eb] my bed
And [Ab] I tied up my linen [Fm] with five [Cm] strips of ribbon I found
[Eb] To [Ab] the side of the building, [Fm] I ran [Cm] to the hill so they found me
[Eb] And [Cm] they put [Ab] me back in my [Fm] cell, all by myself
[Cm] With my thoughts [Eb] again
Guess [Ab] my mind is a prison [Fm] and I'm never gonna [Cm] get out
[Eb] So [Ab] they tranquilize me, analyze me, [Fm] threw me back in my cage
[Cm] And they tie me to a knife, [Eb] he told me I was insane
[Ab] I'm a prisoner, a [Fm] visitor inside of my brain
[Cm] And no matter what I do, they [Eb] try to keep me in [Ab] chain
Sometimes I think too [Fm] much, yeah I get so [Cm] caught up
