G
[Verse]
G
I can't take the criticism
C
I'm eaten up with cynicism
Em Am D7
All the colors in the prism entering my eyes
C D7 G
Still can't change my mind
G
I'm a stubborn goat getting older
C
A cube of ice getting colder
Em Am D7
A frozen heart and frozen shoulders, that is what I've got
C D7 G
A sweetheart I am not
G C
Now I'll soften when it pays the bills
G C
I'll love you in exchange for thrills
G C
Our service calls, withdrawal kills
G C G
I can smell fresh blood from miles away
[Chorus]
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up this way,
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up this way
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this, oh, no,
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up this way
[Verse]
G
Now I have been their slave but I'm tired of workin'
C
A jackhammer tired of jerking
Em Am D7
I'm a booty-shaker tired of twerking, you can laugh all you want
C D7 G
Soon enough, though, I'll be gone
G
I'm a dying fly on the wall
C
I'm a teenage girl who just won't call
Em Am D7
I'm a deflated basketball, no needle to be found
C D7 G
And I just want to be round
[Bridge]
G C
So I can roam, so I can bounce
Am D7
So I can roll out of this town
[Chorus]
C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this,
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up this way, oh, no,
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this
[Verse]
G
Now I'm the worst ship that was ever built
C
I started sinking soon as the champagne spilled
Em Am D7
All the dirty secrets in my quilt, they won't come out in the wash
C D7 G
Somebody help, my gosh
G
I'm a beating heart off the beaten path
C
The god of shame, fear my wrath
Em Am D7
Can my filthy soul take a bath in the light of you?
C D7 G
In the light of truth?
C D7 G
In the light of you
[Chorus]
G C D7 G
No, I can't be locked up like this,
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up this way, oh, no,
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this,
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this (Oh, no),
G C D7 G
I can't be locked up like this
