You're A Prisoner Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[G]

[Verse 1]
You try so hard [G]cause
you wanna be free
But your mind won't take
you further than [G]you can see
You may be thinking about
being a [G]better [G]man
But you're too young,
you don't wanna take [G]that stand
You [C5]can't run, you [Cm]can't

[Verse 2]
[C5]lie,
you [C]can't hide
You're locked in[G]side
[C]Your time is up, y[C#]ou wasted man
No one would show [Ab]when
you [G]ran
[Ab]

[Verse 3]
You're [Eb]a prisoner(a [D]prisoner)
[Ab][D]
You're [D]a prisoner (a prisoner)

[Verse 4]
[D]Your[G]
[G]tim[G]e is
scrambled eggs slowly cooling on [G]a plate
You're always early because
you fear you'll be [G]too late
But each time you think
you've gotten past [G]it all
You run right into a new prison [G]wall

[Verse 5]
[C]You can't get by if you don't try
To change the things with
in [G]yourself
[C]Until then, my bro[C5]ken friend
You [C]will remain [Cm]on a s[G]helf

[Verse 6]
You're a prisoner (a[D]prisoner)
[D][G]
You're a [D]pris[D]oner (a prisoner)
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
So now my long lost friend
[G]I bid you adieu
But often wonder when I
look [G]at people like you
You wanna be free,
but you don't even try to help
You hold the key,
because you're [G]locked inside yourself

[Verse 8]
[C]You can't run, you can[Cm]'t lie[C],
you [C5]can't [C]hide
You're locked [G]in side
[G]You[G]r t[C]ime's up,
you [C5]wasted man
No one [C]would show when
you [G]ran

[Verse 9]
You're a pris[D]oner (a prisoner)
[D]
You're a [D]prisoner (a prisoner)
