Mind Is A Prison Uke tab by Alec Benjamin

[Verse 1]
F                                                                          Dm
I don’t live in California, I’ll inform you, that’s not where I reside
Am                                                             C
I’m just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I
F                                         Dm
Got two windows and those windows, well I’ll call them my eyes
Am                                                                                 C
I’m just going where the wind blows, I don’t get to decide


[Pre-Chorus]
F                                                             Dm
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up
Am
I’m always stuck in my head
F                                                             Dm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
Am
Took all the sheets off my bed


[Chorus]
F                                         Dm                                         Am
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
F
Scaled the side of the building
Dm                                         Am
I ran to the hills till they found me
F
And they put me back in my cell
Dm                                         Am
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
F                     Dm                                         Am
I guess my mind is a prison and I’m never gonna get out

[Verse 2]
F                                         Dm
So they tranquilized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage
Am                                                             C
Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane
F                                                             Dm
I’m a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain
Am                                                                                 C
And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains


[Pre-Chorus]
F                                                             Dm
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up
Am
I’m always stuck in my head
F                                                             Dm
I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday
Am
Took all the sheets off my bed


[Chorus]
F                                         Dm                                         Am
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
F
Scaled the side of the building
Dm                                         Am
I ran to the hills till they found me
F
And they put me back in my cell
Dm                                                             Am
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
F                                         Dm                                         Am
I guess my mind is a prison and I’m never gonna get out

[Bridge]
F                                         Dm
Said even if it’s true, no matter what I do
Am
I’m never gonna escape
F                                         Dm
I won’t give up on hope, secure another rope
Am
And try for another day
F                                                             Dm
Said even if it’s true, no matter what I do
Am
I’m never gonna escape
F                                                 Dm
I won’t give up on hope, secure another rope
Am
And try for another day


[Chorus]
F                                         Dm                     Am
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
F
Scaled the side of the building
Dm                                         Am
I ran to the hills till they found me
F
And they put me back in my cell
Dm                                         Am
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
F                     Dm                                         Am
I guess my mind is a prison and I’m never gonna get out
