Captivity

T[G]he heat of my brain turns the iron bars around me to dust,

but when I come to my senses
                                                 ([Bm]     > [C])
It's a winter's day and there's just a little rust

I[G]'m walking through the revolving doors in my mind

But no matter how hard I try
                                     ([Bm]     > [C])
I can't seem to get out the other side

(PAUSE)                                  [G]
Cause everywhere I look is looking back...
([Bm]     > [C])
Ooooh   oooh

I[G]'m a holy man in a stained glass cathedral

but when I look in the mirror all I see is
                                 ([Bm]     > [C])
cinder blocks and stainless steel

I[G] got eight tailored suits waitin' for me

when I get back home...
                      ([Bm]     > [C])
if I ever get back home

[G]Everywhere I lo[C]ok is looking bac[G]k to where I'm loo[C]kin'
when I get ba[G]ck to where I'm looki[C]n' to g[G]o

Y[B]ou can hold me c[C]aptive f[D]or all these things I've don[G]e
b[B]ut, I'm quite s[C]ure by now t[D]his ain't the only race I'm gonna run

S[G]he said she could never forget the look of my eyes

it's a misfortunate fortune that I'm in here
                            ([Bm]     > [C])
but at least I'm still alive

I[G] once knew a man who traveled by the whistles' aim

It's been forty years now and
                                  ([Bm]     > [C])
I just need someone to know my name

I[G] sprint towards freedom, how else would you move that way?

but I ain't as fast as I used to be and the dogs are catching up
                                                             ([Bm]     > [C])
but I'm gonna die either way so I might as well die trying... Ooooh

[G]Everywhere I lo[C]ok is looking bac[G]k to where I'm loo[C]kin'
when I get ba[G]ck to where I'm looki[C]n' to g[G]o
