Prisoners

(início)

Am                   Dm
All of the prisoners serving life sentences
Am                    Dm       E
Wait for the earth to suddenly shake
F                                      E
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling and
Dm                      E
For the bars to somehow magically break
Am
Aw, There's nothing wrong with them
       Dm
That a thousand bucks can't fix
Am                              Dm      E
That a thousand arms can't hold down
F                        E
In the ground they're tattooing the stones with
Dm                    E
Cusses like cavemen - your momma was here
                 F                           C
But they want to run through the air with no barriers or obstacles
F                       C
Gunmen or guard dogs or priests
       F                           C
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
F                   D7   E
With the people all dead Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Am                         E
If Hans Christian Andersen could've had his way with me
     Am                                     E
Then none of this shit would have ever gone down
F              E
In my cell I'm tattooing myself with
C                         E
Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow
   Dm                            G
My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm really just little
Am                 Dm        F    E
And someday I will remember
Am                 Dm        F    E
And someday I will remember
Am                 Dm        F    E
And someday I will remember
