[C#m] Oh, let me tell my [F#m] story, friend, that [G#m] you might learn to stay away from [C#m] sin.
I took a lot, not [F#m] minor, take, [G#m] imprisoned for this unendured [C#m] mistake.
My heart was taller than [F#m] my soul, they [B] sentenced [G#m] me to life [C#m] without hope.
Well, no one cares, cause we're [G#m] older, I [F#m] say, and I [G#m] must wear this number [C#m] for my name.
Now [A] I lie to me, but [G#m] there [C#m] I can't lie, I'll wear [F#m] these stripes [C#m] till the day I die.
This [A] ball and chain [C#m] around my legs won't [F#m] drag me down, won't dress me [G#m] down.
[C#m]
Blinded, my mother prayed so [F#m] hard for me.
She [G#m] did her time, well, she did her time down on [C#m] bendy knees.
But I was young and I had [B] no fear, [F#m] [B] her beating [G#m] voice still echoes in [C#m] my ear.
Don't you let the beauty lay [B] blind in your [F#]
eyes, for this [G#m] world is filled up, well, it's filled up with [C#m] discolored lies.
For greener fields don't sell [G#m] your [F#m] soul, or you'll [G#m] think that you're rich with a pocket of [C#m] fool's gold.
Now [A] I lie to me, [C#m] black and white, I'll [F#m] wear these stripes till the [C#m] day I die.
This [A] ball and chain [C#m] around my legs won't drag me [B] down, won't [F#m] dress me [G#m] down.
When I [C#m] am dead, I'd rather be in this [F#m] dark cell than [G#m] to be free, to be free.
I'm [C#m] gonna hell, God bless the day of [F#m] my birth.
[G#m] I don't have to pay the price that [C#m] I deserve.
Now [A] I lie to me, [C#m] black and white, I'll wear [F#m] these stripes till the day [C#m] I die.
This [A] ball and chain around [C#m] my legs won't [F#m] drag me down, won't dress me [G#m] down.
When [C#m] I am dead, and when [A] I'm dead, I'll [C#m] take my flight, I'll leave [F#m] behind
[G#m] this world of black and [C#m] white.
