My Own Prison



Tuning:  down one whole step (D G C F A D)

         all notes sound one whole step lower than written

           (i.e. "Em" is actually a Dm)

         (can be played in dropped-d, but doesn't sound as good)

         Lyrics from CD booklet





Didn't bother to include strumming patterns, they're not that hard.

I tried to place the lyrics somewhat close to where they are in

the song.

                                                          this last note

                                                          doesn't appear

1.A court is in session, a verdict is in

  No appeal on the docket today, Just my own sin

  The walls are cold and pale, The cage made of steel

  Screams fill the room,    Alone I drop and kneel

  Silence now the sound, My breath the only motion around

  Demons cluttering around, My face showing no emotion

  Shackled by my sentence, Expecting no return

  Here there is no penance, My skin begins to burn



2.I hear a thunder in the distance, See a vision of a cross

  I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss

  A lion roars in the darkness, Only he holds the key

  A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally



Chorus:

  Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head

  No time for mourning, Ain't got no time



Prechorus

=========



G

 So I held my head up high

G/F#                        F

 Hiding hate that burns inside

                                  E

 Which only fuels their selfish pride

G                                     G/F#

 We're all held captive out from the sun

                            F

 A sun that shines only on some

                         E

 We the meek are all in one

Outro

    G                                  D

 I cry out to God, Seeking only his decision

    Em                                             C

 Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison
