Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I can't take the criticism
I'm [C]heating up with cynicism
[Em]All the colors in the prism
[Am]entering my eye[D]s[Dsus4]
Still can't change my mind
[G]

[Verse 2]
I'm a stubborn goat getting older
[C]A cube of ice getting colder
[Em]A frozen heart and frozen shoulders,
[Am]that is what I've [D]got
[Dsus4]A sweetheart I am not
[G]

[Verse 3]
Now I'll soften when it [C]pays the bills
[G]I'll love you in ex[C]change for thrills
[G]Our service calls, with[C]drawal will kill
I [G]can smell fresh blood from [C]miles away
[G]

[Verse 4]
I can't [C]be locked [D]up this [G]way,
I can't [C]be locked [D]up this [G]way
I can't [C]be locked [D]up like [G]this, oh, no,
I can't [C]be locked [D]up this way
[G]

[Verse 5]
Now I have been their slave
but I'm tired of workin'
[C]A jackhammer tired of jerking
I'm [Em]a booty-shaker tired tired of
twerking, you can [D]laugh all you [Dsus4]want
Soon [Am]enough, though, [Dsus4]I'll be gone
[G]

[Verse 6]
I'm a dying fly on the wall
I'm a [C]teenage girl who just won't call
I'm [Em]a deflated basketball,
no [Am]needle to be [D]found[Dsus4]
And [Am]I ju[C]st wan[Dsus4]t to be around[G]

[Verse 7]
So I can [G]roam, so I can [C]bounce
So I can [Am]roam out of
this town
[Dsus4]

[Verse 8]
[D]
I can't [C]be locked [D]up like [G]this,
I can't [C]be locked [D]up like [G]this
I can't [C]be locked [D]up this [G]way, oh, no,
I can't [C]be locked [D]up like this
[G]

[Verse 9]
Now I'm the worst ship
that was ever built
Started [C]sinking soon as
the champagne spilled
All [Em]the dirty secrets in my quilt,
they won't [Am]come out in the [D]wash[Dsus4]
Some[Am]body [Dsus4]help, my [C]gos[G]h

[Verse 10]
I'm a [G]beating heart off the beaten path
[C]The god of shame, fear my wrath
Can [Em]my filthy soul take a
bath [Am]in the li[D]ght of you?
[Am]In t[Dsus4]he light of truth?[G]
[Am]In the l[Dsus4]ight of you[G]
No, I [C]can't

[Verse 11]
be locked [D]up like [G]this,
I can't [C]be locked [D]up like [G]this
I can't [C]be locked [D]up this [G]way, oh,
no, I can't [C]be locked [D]up like [G]this

[Verse 12]
I can't [G]be locked up like this,
I can't be locked up like this
I can't be locked up like this (Oh, no), I
can't [C]be locked [D]up like this
