Near the end he walks from C to Em; to do this, incorporate picking the low C note
[A string, 3rd fret], to the B right under it [A string, 2nd fret], and then G
[low E string, 3rd fret] into your strumming, followed by Em, with a strong accent
on the open E. It isn't required but it sounds really nice the way it follows the
vocals, and gives the song somewhat of a signature sound.

[Em] [G]

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

[Dsus4]-[Em]-[G]  x2

[Em]There's guards at the [G]on ramps
[Em]Armed to the [G]teeth
[Em]And you may case the grounds
From the Cas[G]cades to Puget Sound
[D]But you are not permitted to leave

[C]I know there's a big [Dsus4]world out there
Like the[Em] one that I saw on[G] the screen
[C]In my living room [Dsus4]late last night
It was [Em]almost too bright t[C]o see
And I know that it's[Dsus4] not a party
If it [Em]happens every [C]night
Pretending there's glamour [Dsus4]and candelabra
[Em]As you're drinking by candlelight

[Em] [Dsus4]

[C]                          WALK  -  TO  -  [Em]    [Dsus4]
What does it take to get a drink in this place?
[C]What does it take, how long must[Em] I wait?
