Well [D] this lockdown [C] never ends, I've got itchy [D] feet [Dm] again
Cabin fever [Bb] got me [F] creeping, out the house while my [Bb] wife's sleeping
[F] Made a [Bb] decision, that I'd probably make again
Couldn't [Dm] abstain, from [C] sneaking out, [Dm] in silence
In the streets I walked [C]
alone, finally was [D] on my own
But found [Dm] myself in a [F] quandary, promised my wife I'd [Bb] do the laundry
[F] [Bb] Walking back when I saw the flash of blue and [F] red lights
That spent the [D] night, [C] with the sound [D] of sirens
[Dm] [D] And then the naked [C] light I saw, timpani's [D] fans maybe more
[Dm] They pinned me [F] against the floor, coppers said [Bb] I had broken [F] the law
I [Bb] said please let me go, I was just going to [F] the store
But they [D] ignored, and said [C] I have the right, [D] to remain silent
Cops said brother [C] don't you know, at this time [D] the shops are closed
In the [Bb] argument I was [F] forming, forgot it was 2 [Bb].30 in the [F] morning
My excuses, like silent [F] raindrops fell
[Dm] The jail cell, [D] is where [C] I was headed [Dm] With sirens
[D] And now I'm in the prison [C]
hall, the cops said you could make [Dm] one call
It was the hardest choice [F] of my life, realized I had to phone my wife
Don't think [Bb] I had it in my heart to say the laundry's still [F] not done
I called the one, so I [C] said to myself, [Dm] in silence
[E] [Dm]
Cabin fever [Bb] got me [F] creeping, out the house while my [Bb] wife's sleeping
[F] Made a [Bb] decision, that I'd probably make again
Couldn't [Dm] abstain, from [C] sneaking out, [Dm] in silence
In the streets I walked [C]
alone, finally was [D] on my own
But found [Dm] myself in a [F] quandary, promised my wife I'd [Bb] do the laundry
