My Own Prison

[Intro]
D5 Bb5
F5

[Verse 1]
D5                 Bb5
  A court is in session,
  F5
A verdict is in
D5                        Bb5
  No appeal on the docket today
     F5
Just my own sin
D5                      Bb5
  The walls are cold and   pale
    F5
The cage made of steel
D5             Bb5
  Screams fill the room
 F5
Alone I drop and kneel
D5            Bb5
  Silence now the sound
   F5
My breath the only motion around
D5              Bb5
  Demons cluttering around
   F5
My face showing no emotion
D5              Bb5
  Shackled by my   sentence
  F5
Expecting no return
D5                Bb5
  Here there is no   penance
   F5
My skin begins to burn
(And I said oh)

[Chorus]
F5                     C/E
  So I held my head up high
                             Eb5
Hiding hate that burns inside
                                    D5
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F5                              C/E
  All held captive out from the sun
                              Eb5
A sun that shines on only some
                          D5
We the meek are all in one

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D5                Bb5          F5
  I hear a thunder   in the distance
                       D5
See a vision of a cross
                Bb5
I feel the pain that was given
        F5
On that sad day of loss
D5               Bb5
  A lion roars in   the darkness
     F5
Only he holds the key
D5                   Bb5
  A light to free me from my burden
    F5
And grant me life eternally

[Pre-Chorus]
D5
  Should have been dead
Bb5         F5
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
D5                    Bb5
  No time for mourning
      F5
Ain't got no time
D5
  Should have been dead
Bb5         F5
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
D5                    Bb5
  No time for mourning
      F5
Ain't got no time
(And I said oh)

[Chorus]
F5                     C/E
  So I held my head up high
                             Eb5
Hiding hate that burns inside
                                    D5
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F5                              C/E
  All held captive out from the sun
                              Eb5
A sun that shines on only some
                          D5
We the meek are all in one

[Bridge]
D5 Bb5  F5
      I cry out to God
          C5         D5
Seeking only his decision
               Bb5
Gabriel stands and confirms
        F5                C5
I've created my own prison
D5 Bb5  F5
      I cry out to God
          C5         D5
Seeking only his decision
               Bb5
Gabriel stands and confirms
        F5                C5
I've created my own prison
D5 Bb5
   (And I said oh)

[Chorus]
F5                     C/E
  So I held my head up high
                             Eb5
Hiding hate that burns inside
                                    D5
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F5                              C/E
  All held captive out from the sun
                              Eb5

On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
Eb5
   No time for mourning
      D5
Ain't got no time
