Am Dm
All of the prisoners serving life sentences
Am Dm E
Wait for the earth to suddenly shake
F E
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling and
Dm E
For the bars to somehow magically break
Am
Aw, There's nothing wrong with them
Dm
That a thousand bucks can't fix
Am Dm E
That a thousand arms can't hold down
F E
In the ground they're tattooing the stones with
Dm E
Cusses like cavemen - your momma was here
F C
But they want to run through the air with no barriers or obstacles
F C
Gunmen or guard dogs or priests
F C
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
F D7 E
With the people all dead Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Am E
If Hans Christian Andersen could've had his way with me
Am E
Then none of this shit would have ever gone down
F E
In my cell I'm tattooing myself with
C E
Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow
Dm G
My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm really just little
Am Dm F E
And someday I will remember
Am Dm F E
And someday I will remember
Am Dm F E
And someday I will remember
