C
C
Here I am behind the prison Wall
G
Where nothing makes much sense at all
G
All the days roll into one
C
I sit and wait for night to fall
C
Someone's shouting, someone's crying
F
Now I really can't recall
C
How it felt before they locked me up
G C
Behind the prison wall
C
She travelled miles to come and see me
G
She brought the son I hardly know
G
He didn't smile, he didn't speak
C
Seemed like he couldn't wait to go
C
I long to pick him up and tell him
F
I'll always be there should he fall
C
Was he scared of me or scared to be
G C
Behind the prison wall
{Solo}

C G C
F C
I'd give my right arm to be out of here
F C
But I can't run and I won't crawl
F C
How much more can they take from me
D7 G7
When I've got nothing left at all
C
Someone's shouting, someone's crying
F
Now I really can't recall
C
How it felt before they locked me up
G C
Behind the prison wall
F C
How it felt before they locked me up
