So talk about this song, Prisoner.
What are you feeling about this song, Prisoner?
Who is [Abm] the prisoner?
Is it you?
Well, I've never written a song quite the way that this process was because
it's been written in different times, like kind of put down the pen and then revisited it,
put it down, revisited it, customize it from, you know, for each.
I guess it's really feels so current because all of us are kind of feeling like we're a little bit
trapped in our own thoughts and in our own [N] minds and anything like we talked about, you've suppressed,
you are completely locked up with any of this feeling.
But then also when I wrote it,
I actually really didn't like this song because I thought it sounded too much like Dua Lipa
and I always want to do something different.
And then I was like, well, if it sounds too much like
Dua Lipa, just like we do with Stevie Nicks, just like, you [F] know, I do with Billy Idol when something
sounds like, oh, this is getting dangerously close to white wedding rather than getting sued,
let's just get Billy Idol to come here and make him a part of it.
That's what happened with Dua,
like it sounds too much like [Dm] Dua Lipa, let's just get her to authenticate it and then it's genuine.
This is a song from your new album Plastic Hearts that's out now and the band and Miley are going to do it live.
It's called Prisoner.

I [C] can't control it, I [Dm] can't control it.
[C] No, you keep [Bb] making it hard [C] to escape.
[D] I still can't [E] run away.
I gotta [Bb] know why can't you let me [D] go.
Prisoner, prisoner, locked up.
I can't [F] get you off my mind, off my mind.
Lord knows I've [Bb] tried a million times, million times.
Oh [G] no, [C] why can't you, why can't [F] you just let me [Dm] go.
Prisoner, prisoner, locked up.
I [F] can't get you off my mind.
Lord knows [Bb] I've tried a million times.
Oh no, [Gm] why can't you, [Am] why can't you just let me [Dm] go.

I do forget [F] you when your love is [Bb] loudish.
Oh, I [Gm] can't control it, I can't [Dm] control it.
