    This place is a prison
Am                                C
    And these people aren't your friends
Am                         C
 Inhaling thrills through $20 bills
         G                            G
And the tumblers are drained and then flooded again
         F - G - Am - C
And again 

F - G - Am - C

Am                          C
    Ther're guards at the on ramps
Am                C
    armed to the teeth
    Am                                   C
And you may case the grounds from the cascades to puget sound,
   G                         G
But you are not permitted to leave


F                       G                        Am                C
  I know there's a big world out there like the one i saw on the screen
F                    G                      Am                    F
  In my living room late last night, It was almost too bright to see
F                      G                 Am             F
  And i know that it's not a party if it happens every night
   F                             G
Pretending there's glamour and candelabra
            Am                Am
When you're drinking by candlelight
