Lock Me Up

The Chalkeaters


Tom: C

     Am
Last week I heard clicking sounds from the nearby alley
C
 Now the whole world’s on lockdown
               Dm    G
Wonder how the hell I missed it
                    F
Soldiers blocked my district
Am
But there’s a glossy backdoor in my parents’ basement
C                            Dm
 I’ll slip into it avoiding a barren wasteland
G                     F
Don’t want to end up a statistic
        Dm
I’ll be gone for this spring
     Em
Mama don’t say a thing
        F                       N.C.
My long journey won’t put you in danger
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Am
Lock me up, lock me up
G    Am
In my room
            C
Still gonna pack things up
 
And sneak out
Dm        Em
To Hyrule
     Dm
I’ll explore the Great Plateau with my mask off
         F                             G
Beedle’s store’s raking in profits like Tesco
 
Am
Lock me up, leave me it's
G     Am
Not so bad
          C
I’m gonna hit the pubs
 
Down the streets of
Dm       Em
Novigrad
          Dm
Nothing’s changing under quarantine orders
  F                        G
Redania’s never closing its borders
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
        N.C.
Lock me up
       C
It's alright
        Dm
Lock me up
         Em
Leave me here
       C
I don't mind
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                                 Gm
 And while we hide, bloodflies might swarm the city spreading
C                                   Dm          G
 The Tyrant virus outside, trust me, I’ve already seen that
                       F
Think I should move to Greenland
Am
  So lick me barnacle, hug me, my buddy headcrab
C                                        Dm        G
 I’m safe and sound hanging ‘round with my City Seventeen friends
Dm            F
Till the quarantine ends
          Dm
I’ll stay home the whole spring
     Em
Mama won’t say a thing
       F                G
Gaming now is officially healthy
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Am
Lock me up, lock me up
G    Am
In my room
          C
I’m gonna pack things up
 
And sneak out
Dm        Em
To Hyrule
        Dm
Then to Skyrim, maybe even to Lordran
      F                        G
Dying right after respawning is so fun
 
Am
Lock me up, leave me it’s
G     Am
Not so bad
              C
Bullies won’t beat me up
        Dm    Em
Kronika will instead
      Dm
Netherrealm’s not under quarantine orders
           F                          G
I kept the distance but still ended up quartered
 
 
[Post Chorus]
        N.C.
Lock me up
       C
It’s alright
        Dm
Lock me up
          Em
I’ll stay put
        C
I don’t mind
 
 
[Bridge]
Bm             Dm                Em      Dm
 I might spend decades in this shelter before escaping
Am       Bm    Dm  Em    Dm C
 To post apocalyptic lands
Am          Bm        Em                Dm    C
 So bring me pizza, Mr Bridges, and some toilet paper
Bm                               Dm   Em
 Don’t worry, I won’t shake your hand
 
 
[Chorus 3]
Am
Lock me up, lock me up
G    Am
In my room
            C
Still gonna pack things up
 
And sneak out
Dm       Em
To Hyrule
       Dm
I’ll explore the Great Plateau with my mask off
         F                             G
Beedle’s store’s raking in profits like Tesco
 
Am
Lock me up, leave me it's
G     Am
Not so bad
          C
I’m gonna hit the pubs
 
Down the streets of
Dm       Em
Novigrad
          Dm
Nothing’s changing under quarantine orders
 F                        G
Redania’s never closing its borders, whoa
 
Am                     G Am
Lock me up, lock me up
           C                       Dm
You better lock me up, lock me up
Am
Lock me up, lock me up
     G     Am
It's not so bad
           C
You better lock me up, lock me up
     Dm    Em
It's not so bad
          Dm
Nothing’s changing under quarantine orders
   F                       G
Redania’s never closing its borders
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
        N.C.
Lock me up
       C
It's alright
        Dm
Lock me up
         Em
Leave me here
        C
I don't mind
