( G5 )
The heat of my brain turns the iron bars around me to dust, 

but when I come to my senses
                                                 ( B5     > C5 )
It's a winter's day and there's just a little rust 
                         


( G5 )
I'm walking through the revolving doors in my mind 

But no matter how hard I try
                                     ( B5     > C5 )
I can't seem to get out the other side 


(PAUSE )                                 ( G5 )
Cause everywhere I look is looking back...
( B5     > C5 )
Ooooh   oooh


( G5 )
I'm a holy man in a stained glass cathedral 

but when I look in the mirror all I see is 
                                 ( B5     > C5 )
cinder blocks and stainless steel 


( G5 )
I got eight tailored suits waitin' for me 
                                            
when I get back home... 
                      ( B5     > C5 )
if I ever get back home 


G5              C5                G5                 C5 
Everywhere I look is looking back to where I'm lookin'
            ( G5 )                  ( C5 )    ( G5 )
when I get back to where I'm lookin' to go 


( B5 )             ( C5 )     ( D5 )                         ( G5 )
You can hold me captive for all these things I've done 
( B5 )            ( C5 )         ( D5 )
but, I'm quite sure by now this ain't the only race I'm gonna run


( G5 ) 
She said she could never forget the look of my eyes 

it's a misfortunate fortune that I'm in here 
                            ( B5     > C5 )
but at least I'm still alive 


( G5 )
I once knew a man who traveled by the whistles' aim 

It's been forty years now and 
                                  ( B5     > C5 )
I just need someone to know my name 


( G5 )
I 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 
                                                             ( B5     > C5 )
but I'm gonna die either way so I might as well die trying... Ooooh


G5              C5                G5                 C5 
Everywhere I look is looking back to where I'm lookin'
            ( G5 )                  ( C5 )    ( G5 )
when I get back to where I'm lookin' to go
