[E] [G]
[F#] [A#] [Gm] I love [D] the prisoners [G] serving life [Bm] sentences, wait [D] for the earth [Gm] to suddenly [F#] shake, [G]
for
the walls to [Bm] somehow suddenly come [F#] crumbling,
[A#m] tumbling [C#m] and [G] for the bars to somehow magically [Gm] fall.
[B]
There's nothing wrong [D] with them, [E] that a thousand bucks [G] can't fix, [B] that a [D] thousand arms [E] can't
hold [Bm] [F#m] down, [G] and the [Bm] ground there [F#] tattooing [A#] the stones [E] with cusses [G] like cavemen.
Yo [F#] mama was [A#] here.
But they [G] wanna run through the air with [D] no barriers or obstacles, [G]
[A] gunmen or guard dogs
[D] or priests, [G] and to rise from the mud [A] and start over [G] and over [D] [G] with the people all [A] dead.
[N] [Bm] If Hans [D] Christian Andersen [E] could've had his [G]
way with [B] me, then [D] none of this shit [E] would've
ever gone [F#m] down.
[G] I'm in my cell, [Bm] I'm [F#] tattooing [A#m] myself [E] with [G] mermaids and [F#] swallows, and though [A#m] I do swallow,
