Alec Benjamin - Mind is a prison

I don't ^Fmlive in California, I'll ^Gminform you, that's not where I ^Cmreside I'm just a ^Cmtenant, paying rent inside this body and I Got two ^Fmwindows, and those windows, well, I ^Gmcall them my eyes I'm just ^Cmgoing where the wind blows, I don't get to decide

^FmSometimes, I think too much^Gm, yeah, I get so caught up ^Cm I'm always stuck in my head ^FmI wish I could escape^Gm, I tried to yesterday ^Cm

Then I ^Fmtied up my linen with ^Gmfive strips of ribbon I ^Cmfound Scaled the ^Fmside of the building, I ^Gmran to the hills 'til they ^Cmfound me And they put me ^Fmback in my cell, ^Gmall by myself A^Cmlone with my thoughts again Guess my ^Fmmind is a prison and ^GmI'm never gonna get ^Cmout

So they tranqui^Fmlized me, analyzed me, threw me ^Gmback in my cage Then they ^Cmtied me to an IV, told me I was insane I'm a ^Fmprisoner, a visitor in^Gmside of my brain And no ^Cmmatter what I do, they try to keep me in chains
