Near the end he walks from C to Em; to do this, incorporate picking the low C note
[A string, 3rd fret], to the B right under it [A string, 2nd fret], and then G
[low E string, 3rd fret] into your strumming, followed by Em, with a strong accent
on the open E. It isn't required but it sounds really nice the way it follows the
vocals, and gives the song somewhat of a signature sound.
Intro: Em-G
EmThis place is a Gprison
EmAnd these people aren't yourG friends
EmInhaling thrills throughG twenty dollar bills
DAs the tumblers are drained
And then flooded again Cand again
Dsus4-Em-G x2
EmThere's guards at the Gon ramps
EmArmed to the Gteeth
EmAnd you may case the grounds
From the CasGcades to Puget Sound
DBut you are not permitted to leave
CI know there's a big Dsus4world out there
Like theEm one that I saw onG the screen
CIn my living room Dsus4late last night
It was Emalmost too bright tCo see
And I know that it'sDsus4 not a party
If it Emhappens every Cnight
Pretending there's glamour Dsus4and candelabra
EmAs you're drinking by candlelight
Em-Dsus4-
C WALK - TO - Em Dsus4
What does it take to get a drink in this place?
CWhat does it take, how long mustEm I wait?
[repeat to end]
