[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F]
[G][F][G][F]
[G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]There's
a white prism with phony jis[C]m
Spread [G]across its face
And the soulful convicts forever interred
[C]Los[G]e the smile across their faces
The smile that registered hopes or dreams
Has [C]proven just [G]a waste

[Verse 2]
And [Em]I'm the indent[G]ured servant
[F]Forever in his [G]place
I'm the indentured servant

[Interlude 1]
Forever in his place
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]I wish I built a cabinet
[C]Of shiny [G]bolts and wood
Secret [C]draws and hid[G]ing places
[C]Sculpted [G]out of wood
Secret places, secret lies
In a desk lying alone

[Verse 4]
A [Em]secret [G]letter written to you
To be read when [F]you're [G]alone
A [Em]secret [G]letter written to you
To be [F]read when [G]you're alone

[Verse 5]
It says [G]I'm your indentured servant
I can no longer pretend
That I'm a lover or an equal
I'm [C]not [G]even a friend
I'm not good enough to serve you
I'm not good enough to stay

[Verse 6]
So [G]it is that I beseech you
To please turn [F]me [G]away
So it is that I beseech you
To [F]please turn me [G]away[Am][G]

[Verse 7]
Turn me [C]away[G]
Turn me [Am]away[G]
Turn me [C]away[G]

[Verse 8]
[G]I'm asking you to let me go
It [C]hurts me when [G]you're sad
And I can not do better than this
Which must [C]surely [G]make you mad
I'd be better off in your cabinet

[Verse 9]
Or in a prison made of cloth
[G]Crouched beneath your dress I come
[F]Shooting little [G]spurts
[Em]Crouched benea[G]th
your dress I come
[F]Shooting little [G]spurts

[Verse 10]
[G]I'm your indentured servant
But even I have pride
In what I make or say or do
Al[C]though I've [G]lots to hide
I hide from freedom and I
hide from you
'cause you've found me out

[Verse 11]
I be[C]long in [G]prison beneath your legs
In a [F]cabinet that I've [G]built
Be[Em]neath [G]a candle in a secret drawer
In a [F]prison by [G]a moat

[Verse 12]
I'm [G]your indentured servant
And I'm [C]asking [G]you to leave
Me outside this prison cell
Where [C]only [G]you can breathe
I'm your indentured servant
But I'm [C]asking you [G]for this

[Verse 13]
Please [G]release me from this love
And do it with a kiss
I'm [Em]your inden[G]tured servant
[F]I'm the [G]one you'll miss

[Verse 14]
[Am]Do it wi[G]th a kiss
[C]Do it [G]with a kiss
Do it with a kiss
I'm the one you'll miss
