Mind Is A Prison Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 2]
[G]Sometimes I think too much,
[Em]yeah, I get so caught up
[Bm]I'm always stuck in my head[A][D]
[G]I wish I could escape,
[Em]I tried to yesterday
[Bm]Took all the sheets off my bed[A]
[Bm]Then [D]I tied

[Verse 3]
[G]up my linen with
[Em]five strips of ribbon I [Bm]found
[A]Sca[D]led the sid[G]e of the building
I [Em]ran to the hills 'til they f[Bm]ound me
And [A]they [Bm]put me [G]back in my cell
[Em]All by myself,
[Bm]alone with my thoughts again
[D]I guess my min[G]d is a prison and
[Em]I'm never gonna get [Bm]out[A]
[D]So they [Em]tranquilized

[Verse 4]
me, ana[G]lyzed me,
threw me [Em]back in my cage
Then they tied me [Bm]to an IV,
told me [D]I was insane
I'm a [G]prisoner,
a visitor in[Em]side of my brain
And no matter [Bm]what I do,
they try to [D]keep me in chains

[Verse 5]
[G]Sometimes I think to much,
[Em]yeah, I get so caught up
[Bm]I'm always stuck in my head[D]
[G]I wish I could escape,
[Em]I tried to yesterday
[Bm]Took all the sheets off my bed
Then [D]I tied

[Verse 6]
[G]up my linen with
[Em]five strips of ribbon I [Bm]found
[D]Scaled the sid[G]e of the building
I [Em]ran to the hills 'til they f[Bm]ound me
And [A]they [Bm]put me [G]back in my cell
[Em]All by myself,
[Bm]alone with my thoughts again
[D]I guess my [G]mind is a prison and
[Em]I'm never gonna get [Bm]out[A]

[Verse 7]
[G]Said even if it's [Em]true, no matter what I do
[Bm]I'm never gonna escape
[G]I won't give up on hope,
[Em]secure another rope
[Bm]And try for another day[A][G][D]
[G]Said even if it's [Em]true, no matter what I do
[Bm]I'm never gonna esca[D]pe
[G]I won't give up on hope,
[Em]secure another rope
[Bm]And try for another day[A]
[Bm]Then [D]I tied

[Verse 8]
[G]up my linen with
[Em]five strips of ribbon I [Bm]found
[A]Sca[D]led the sid[G]e of the building
I [Em]ran to the hills 'til they f[Bm]ound me
And [A]they [Bm]put me [G]back in my cell
[Em]All by myself,
[Bm]alone with my thoughts again
[A]I g[D]uess my m[G]ind is a prison and
[Em]I'm never gonna get [Bm]out[A]
