Tom: Em

Em

[Verse 1]
             Em
If I'm underneath the table
      G
Then pour me another drink
    C
Oh, I don't want to remember
        B
I don't even want to think
        Em
I'm a slave to my addiction
       G
I'm a hazard to myself
      C
On a fast ride to prediction
         B
Oh, I'm heading straight to hell

[Pre-chorus]
          C
When I throw up at your window
            G
You should confiscate my key
          C
I would drive you off the fucking wall
Am            B
To late to believe

[Chorus]
Em                   G
I tried so hard to change
                         C
But the devil locked my door
                        B                                Em
I'll wear these heavy chains around my neck like a prisoner
              G
I just wanna love
                     C
But he won't let me go
               B
Loosen up my chains
                          Em
Oh, I'm a condemned prisoner

[Verse 2]
     Em 
I'm sober in the spotlight
          G
With the city at my feet
     C
But I was a dead man walking
        B
Nothing ever comes for free
      Em 
So I moved on down to London
          G
Where I traded in my soul
   C
I could not fill my heart
             B
With other's one night stands and gold

[Pre-chorus]
      C
So throw me out your mom's house
         G
I'll be living there too long
          C
Well she never liked me anyway
            Am                  B
Cause she knows I'm not that strong

[Chorus]
Em                   G
I tried so hard to change
                         C
But the devil locked my door
                        B                                Em
I'll wear these heavy chains around my neck like a prisoner
              G
I just wanna love
                     C
But he won't let me go
               B
Loosen up my chains
                          Em
Oh, I'm a condemned prisoner

[Bridge]
[...]
 Am               B
Pour me another drink
                    Em  G  C
It always ends the same
B
   I'm a condemned prisoner

[Chorus]
Em                   G
I tried so hard to change
                         C
But the devil locked my door
                        B                                Em
I'll wear these heavy chains around my neck like a prisoner
              G
I just wanna love
                     C
But he won't let me go
               B
Loosen up my chains
                          Em
Oh, I'm a condemned prisoner
