Lyrics

Ab Fm Cm Eb                    Ab
           I don't live in California

[Verse 1]
I'll inform you,
           Fm
that's not where I reside
           Cm                             Eb
I'm just a tenant payin' rent inside this body and I
        Ab
Got two windows
And those windows, well,
  Fm
I call them my eyes
         Cm
I'm just goin' where the wind blows
        Eb
I don't get to decide

[Pre-Chorus]
Ab                          Fm
  Sometimes I think too much
Yeah, I get so caught up
Cm                       Eb
  I'm always stuck in my head
Ab                     Fm
  I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Cm                           Eb
  Took all the sheets off my bed

[Chorus]
       Ab
Then I tied up my linen
     Fm                      Cm   Eb
With five strips of ribbon I found
           Ab
Scaled the side of the buildin'
  Fm                         Cm
I ran to the hills 'til they found me
Eb              Ab
And they put me back in my cell
Fm
All by myself
 Cm                         Eb
Alone with my thoughts again
         Ab
Guess my mind is a prison
    Fm                  Cm Eb
And I'm never gonna get out

[Verse 2]
               Ab
So they tranquilize me, analyzed me
         Fm
Threw me back in my cage
          Cm
Then they tie me to an IV
        Eb
Told me I was insane
      Ab
I'm a prisoner, a visitor
  Fm
Inside of my brain
       Cm
And no matter what I do
            Eb
They try to keep me in chains

[Pre-Chorus]
Ab                          Fm
  Sometimes I think too much
Yeah, I get so caught up
Cm                       Eb
  I'm always stuck in my head
Ab                     Fm
  I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Cm                           Eb
  Took all the sheets off my bed

[Chorus]
       Ab
Then I tied up my linen
     Fm                      Cm   Eb
With five strips of ribbon I found
           Ab
Scaled the side of the buildin'
  Fm                         Cm

    Fm                  Cm Eb
And I'm never gonna get out

[Bridge]
Ab                      Fm
  Said even if it's true
No matter what I do
Cm                      Eb
  I'm never gonna escape
Ab                       Fm
  I won't give up on hope
Secure another rope
Cm                       Eb
  And try for another day
Ab                      Fm
  Said even if it's true
No matter what I do
Cm                      Eb
  I'm never gonna escape
Ab                       Fm
  I won't give up on hope
Secure another rope
Cm                       Eb
  And try for another day

[Chorus]
       Ab

And I'm never gonna get out
