Verse 1
 Am          G/C       Dm7           Fdim
All of the prisoners serving life sentences
 Am           G/C       Dm7     E
Wait for the earth to suddenly shake
  F                         Am            E        E7/G#
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling and
  Dm7             F       E      E7/G#
For the bars to somehow magically break
 
Verse 2
 Am                             G/C
Oh, there's nothing wrong with them
          Dm7               Fdim
That a thousand bucks can't fix
 Am              G/C            Dm7  E F
That a thousand arms can't hold do- own
           Am            E         E7/G#
In the ground they're tattooing the stones with
   Dm7         F            E           E7/G#
Cusses like cavemen, "Your momma was here"
 
Chorus
                  F             Fsus2          C
But they want to run through the air with no barriers or obstacles
   F       G/F            C
Gunmen or guard dogs or priests
         F           Fmaj7         Cmaj11   F/C
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
Cadd11      Dm/C     Fadd9/C
  With the people all dead, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
 
Verse 3
    Am             G/C              Dm7            Fdim
If Hans Christian Andersen could've had his way with me
      Am                G/C                 Dm7  E
Then none of this shit would have ever gone do- own
 F        Am         E         E7/G#
In my cell, I'm tattooing myself with
  Dm7           F           E         E7/G#
Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow
 F                  Am             E         E7/G#
My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm really just little and
