[A] [C]
[Am] [C] This
[G] [C]
[A] place is [C] a prison,
[A] these people aren't [C] your friends
[Am] Inhaling thrills [C] through twenty dollar bills
And [G] the tumblers are drained and then flooded again [F] and again

[A] Scorched at [C] the young man's
[A] [Am] arm to [C] the teeth
[Am] You may case the grounds from [C] the cascades to Puget Sound
[G] But you are not permitted to leave
[F] I know there's a [G] big world out there like [A] the one I saw [C] on the screen
[F] In my living [G] room late last night it [Am] was almost too bright [F] to see
I know that [G] it's not a party [A] if it happens [F] every night
[C]
Pretending there's glamour [G] and candelabra [A] when you're drinking by candlelight
[Gm]
[F] What does it take to get a drink [A] in?

[F] What does it take?
How long [A] must I wait?
