Tom: Bm
E C A
You learned to swim up on dry land
E C A
And I went dry over a watering can
F# A
If the car slows down, can we make it
G/B E C A
To the starry band?
E C A
A centipede through din crescendos
E C A
Wouldn’t dare to tell a friend, though
F# A
Ashes from a tin, poisoned
G/B E
With bullet and bolo
[Chorus]
Bm
When you're trapped in paradise
A E
Or a free man in hell
Bm A B
Burning or freezing, go on and build me a cell
C G/B E A
I guess I’ll just wear ‘em, if the chains fit me well
D A G/B E
You're either trapped in paradise or a free man in hell
[Verse 2]
E C A
Neon blares through grey smoke din
E C A
Velvet Julia on a gunpowder plinth
F# A
Harried, but carried aloft
G/B E C A
By diversion
E C A
Between where I’m going and where I’ve been
E C A
The town’s on fire or the ground’s frozen
F# A G/B E
It’s all just recreational masochism
[Chorus]
Bm
When you're trapped in paradise
A E
Or a free man in hell
Bm A B
Burning or freezing, go on and build me a cell
C G/B E A
I guess I’ll just wear ‘em, if the chains fit me well
D A G/B E
You're either trapped in paradise or a free man in hell
