I’m living in a jailhouse, a jailhouse, a jailhouse it’s true
FC
A jailhouse, a jailhouse, serving time with you
C
Deep, dark dungeon with the greystone walls, that’s how it feels to me
FGF
A jailhouse, a jailhouse, she threw away the key
C
Well i’d rather be busting rocks, in that federal pen
F
Than to be locked up with your cold, low down heart what a shape i’m in
C
I’ve been sentenced to life for the crime of loving you
FGF
No parole or pardon could set me free when you feel the way i do
C
Cuz’ i’m living in a jailhouse, a jailhouse, jailhouse it’s true
FC
A jailhouse, a jailhouse, serving time with you
C
Deep, dark dungeon with the greystone walls, that’s how it feels to me
FGF
A jailhouse, a jailhouse, she threw away the key
(solo)
C
Well you tell me i ain’t nothing, except your ball and chain
F
And you’ve been tangled in a web of sorrow, since the day you changed your name
C
Well maybe baby, it’s about time, for me to make that big escape
FGF
Get the judge and jury to cut me loose, take a hard look at my case
C
Cuz’ i’m living in a jailhouse, a jailhouse, a jailhouse it’s true
FC
Jailhouse, a jailhouse, serving time with you
C
Deep, dark dungeon with the greystone walls, that’s how it feels to me
FGC
Jailhouse, a jailhouse she threw away the key
GC
She threw away the key
GC
She threw away the key
