My Own Prison Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]A court is in sess[F]ion, a verdi[C]ct is in
[Am]No appeal on the docket toda[F]y
Just [C]my own sin
[Am]The wall's cold and [F]pale
The [C]cage made of steel
[Am]Screams fill the r[F]oom
[C]Alone I drop and kneel
[Am]Silence now the [F]sound
My [C]breath the only motion around
[Am]Demons clutt[F]ering around
My [C]face showing no emotion
[Am]Shackled by my s[F]entence
[C]Expecting no return
[Am]Here there is no p[F]enance
My [C]skin begins to burn

[Chorus 1]
[C]So I held my head up hig[Bm]h
Hiding hate that burns in[Bb]side
Which only fuels their selfish [Am]pride
[C]All held captive out from the sun[Bm]
A sun that shines on only [Bb]some
We the meek are all in [Am]one
[Am][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]I hear a thunder i[F]n the dist[C]ance
See a vision of a [Am]cross
I feel the pain [F]that was given
on that [C]sad day of loss
[Am]A lion roars in th[F]e darkness
Only [C]he holds the key
[Am]A light to free me from [F]my burden
And [C]grant me life eternally

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Should have been dead
[F]on a Sunday [C]morning
Banging my head
[Am]No time for mour[F]ning
Ain't [C]got no time
[Am]Should have been dead
[F]On a Sunday [C]morning
Banging my head
[Am]No time for mour[F]ning
Ain't [C]got no time

[Chorus 2]
[C]So I held my head up hig[Bm]h
Hiding hate that burns in[Bb]side
Which only fuels their selfish [Am]pride
[C]All held captive out from the sun[Bm]
A sun that shines on only [Bb]some
We the meek are all in [Am]one

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am][F]
[C][G][Am][F]

[Bridge 2]
I [C]cry out to God Seeking [G]only his [Am]decision
Gabriel [F]stands and confirms
I've cre[C]ated my own pris[G]on[Am][F]
I [C]cry out to God Seeking [G]only his [Am]decision
Gabriel [F]stands and confirms
I've cre[C]ated my own pris[G]on[Am][F]

[Chorus 3]
[C]So I held my head up hig[Bm]h
Hiding hate that burns in[Bb]side
Which only fuels their selfish [Am]pride
[C]All held captive out from the sun[Bm]
A sun that shines on only [Bb]some
We the meek are all in [Am]one

[Chorus 4]
[C]So I held my head up hig[Bm]h
Hiding hate that burns in[Bb]side
Which only fuels their selfish [Am]pride
[C]All held captive out from the sun[Bm]
A sun that shines on only [Bb]some
We the meek are all in [A]one

[Outro 1]
[C]Should have been dead
on a Sunday [Bm]morning
Banging my head
[Bb]No time for mourning
Ain't [Am]got no time
