Intro
E A
My street as I remember is still the same
G# A G#
Wonder what the people around here say

Only I can turn things the other way

I think my friends have all gave up me

Untie my chains, I reach out in apology
G# A G#
Then dance dance dance dance dance into the future with me
F#
Beware the fences, and the prison defences
G#
And the lies they say inside these walls,
A E
Commitments involuntary

How I get home tonight seemed so automatic, systematic

Only the lonely, in this correctional facility

In the still of every night

Can ever really walk away

I didn’t want to walk away
