G5
I was wise, went downwind
A5
I hid all the evidence
C5
but then I saw you walking slowly down the stairs with your friends
E5                                      D5
soon the dogs caught the smell and the detective found prints
G5
so I kicked, and I fought
A5
did all I could just to resist
C5
my dirty face on the ground a heavy knee in my back
E5                                              D5      C5
and I'm heading downtown with handcuffs tight around my wrists


E5
I was home free, and headed south
C5
I'd buy an island and relax
A5
now I'm , locked up, and staring out
C5
through metal bars at what I had
E5
it was airplanes and dirty vans
C5
and a confession to fog the air

A5
now your, hooked up with an old friend
C5                               E5
all I have this paper a pen and all these
D5                       C5
really good reasons to swear



G5
I'd erase, start again
A5
I see it clearly inside my head
        C5
It would have worked under a different set of circumstances
E5                      D5
but my life's not a movie, I can never again
G5
live a day, in the past
A5
When we walked nowhere are 4 am
C5
I let my hand hang beside me hoping you'd get the hint
E5                                              D5
But you didn't that night and now you're so happy with him




A5
I'm holding onto this spoon
C5
And I'm scratching at the cement
E5
When the guard's not paying attention
D5                                               C5
I will tunnel through dirt and rock and under barbed wire fence
E5      D5      C5
And I will find my freedom
E5              D5      C5      G5
in the sunlight, my freedom
