The Prisoner

Tom: C#m

C#m                  B
You have watched me, safe in your anonymity
C#m                 B
I have dreamed you, held in your security
F#m           G#m          F#m              G#m
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
F#m               G#m               D     Ebm
Your eyes AD  the camera and you've TAKEN hold
        C#m                 [1 strum let it ring out]
And you captured me
       G#m
I need you to take control
       C#m                    
I am a prisoner of no confidence
F#m    B              F#m       C#m
You've entered me now make me whole

Doo doo doo doo, doo do do do do do do doo X 2 [then hit F#m once]

C#m              B
Every place I go I feel your lenses trained on me
C#m                        B
This distant concentration takes away my energy
F#m                    G#m
Your image burns it's negative
F#m       G#m
Behind my waking eyes
F#m                  G#m     D           Ebm
Then the night comes and you stalk your prize

Rpt chorus
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you've taken hold
