[Verse 1]
[Dsus4]In the bl[Dm]ue of[Am] the[Dm] even[Am]
ing [Dm]when the sun is [Dsus4]low[Dm]
There's a shadow [Am]that creeps
across my cell [Dm]block floor
And it [Am]comes to remind me
what I'm [Dsus4]in here f[Dm]or

[Verse 2]
[Dm]No, I'm not admitt[Am]in' that
[Dsus4]I done th[Dm]e crime
I'm only [Am]getting down to [Dsus4]doin' tim[Dm]e
[Am]The passin' of day is no conce[Dsus4]rn of[D][Dsus4]
[Dm]mine[Dsus4][Dm][G][Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
There's a [Dm]guard on [Am]the second shift
comes [Dsus4]on at three[Dm]
And he's always [Am]about a half
inch [Dsus4]off of me[Dm]
Like he [Am]needs to keep remindin' me
that I'm [Dsus4]not free[Dm][Dsus4][Dm]

[Verse 4]
God for[Am]give him [Dm]'cause
he [Dsus4]doesn't s[Dm]ee
He's no less [Am]a prisoner
'cause [Dsus4]he holds [Dm]a key
[Am]And God forbid he turn his back [Dsus4]on me[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
[Dm]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Dsus4][Dm][Am]
[Dsus4][Dm][Am][Dsus4]

[Verse 5]
For [Dm]every [Am]wall you build
[Dsus4]around yo[Dm]ur fear
A thousand [Am]darker things
are [Dsus4]born in h[D]ere[Dm]
[Am]There fed on contempt for all
that [D]you hold [Dm]dear

[Verse 6]
The [Am]truth is it [Dm]doesn't
matter [Dsus4]what you do
[Dm]'Til you gaze [Am]in that mirror
with [Dsus4]an eye that's true
[Dm]And ad[Am]mit that what
scares you is the [Dm]me in you
