Dm                   F     
    This place is a prison
Dm                                F
    And these people aren't your friends
Dm                         F
 Inhaling thrills through $20 bills
         C                            C
And the tumblers are drained and then flooded again
         A# - C - Dm - F
And again [Over no lyrics]

A# - C - Dm - F

Dm                          F
    Ther're guards at the on ramps
Dm                F
    armed to the teeth
    Dm                                   F
And you may case the grounds from the cascades to puget sound,
   C                         C
But you are not permitted to leave


A#                       C                        Dm                F
  I know there's a big world out there like the one i saw on the screen
A#                    C                      Dm                    A#
  In my living room late last night, It was almost too bright to see
A#                      C                 Dm             A#
  And i know that it's not a party if it happens every night
   A#                             C
Pretending there's glamour and candelabra
            Dm                Dm
When you're drinking by candlelight
