Song: Locked Inside
Album: The ArchAndroid


             Bmaj7
I'm locked inside
  C#m                 Ebm
A land called foolish pride
          Fm            Bmaj7
Where the man is always right
            C#m               Ebm                
He hates to talk but loves to fight
            Fm
Is that all right?

             Bmaj7
On real cold days
   C#m              Ebm
He loans us lots of hate
       Fm                Bmaj7
But he says that we must pay
            C#m               Ebm       
To take it all away
        Fm
Is that ok?

        Bmaj7               C#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
        Ebm               Fm
In this land where we are free
        Bmaj7               C#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
        Ebm               Fm
But one day we'll be happy



Bridge:
       C#sus4                     F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7                                Amaj7
Hearts of hatred rule the land While others left outside
C                               Gmaj7
Killing, bleeding citizen while music slowly dies
          E          D            E          D
And I get frightened I, see I get frightened I

Chorus:
Bmja7                     C#m             
Oh how, oh how I need you baby
                       Ebm
You keep me from going crazy
                  Fm
I really need you baby, need you to stay
Bmja7                     C#m 
Oh how, oh how I love you baby
                    Ebm
These people are so crazy
                  Fm
I really need you baby, need you to stay

Bmaj7
She always fights
        C#m             Ebm
For her man but not her rights
     Fm             Bmaj7
Even though it's 3005
             C#m          Ebm
When will we end this genocide?
               Fm
And that's not right

            Bmaj7
Her children cry
           C#m               Ebm
No food to eat and afraid as flies
          Fm                      Bmaj7
The color black means its time to die
      C#m            Ebm
And nobody questions why
                  Fm
Cause they're too scared to stop them now


        Bmaj7               C#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
        Ebm               Fm
In this land where we are free
        Bmaj7               C#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
        Ebm               Fm
But one day we'll be happy

       C#sus4                     F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7                              Amaj7
Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles
    C                                Gmaj7
The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies
           E        D                  E        D
To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside


Chorus


Bmaj7         C#m
 I can make a change
Ebm            Fm
 I can start a fire
B             C#m
 Lord, make me love again
Ebm            Fm
 Father, fill me with desire

Bmaj7         C#m
 I can make a change
Ebm            Fm
 I can start a fire
B             C#m
 Lord, make me love again
Ebm            Fm
 Father, fill me with desire

C#sus4 F#maj7
