Inmates

D                                            Bm
When you said you loved me, did you really love me or did the words just
Bb                     A            D                          Bm
spill out like drool on my pillow. ‘Cause I was naked when you said those
                     Bb                    A
words, but I felt covered in your whispered worship.
          G                      D            G               Bm
And as you passed out fast on my shoulder, I imagined a child waiting so sad
                         Bb
and still for his mom to arrive.
D                            A
Did she leave you an orphan, in that big, brown leather chair?
Bb                                     G
Said, “ Don’t you move a muscle, kid, I’ll be back in twenty years,”
D                                 A
You were scared, you were lonely, but you must’ve been aware;
Bb                            G
life is a series of calluses, this is just another layer.
Bm                              Bb                                  A
So, build’em up, tough it out, yeah, that’s your skin – don’t let anyone
      D
under there.

When I said I loved you, it was because I loved you. When I said I needed
                       A       D
you, well, I really need you. Yeah, I guess you hurt me, for once you’re a
Bm                                Bb                                A
man of your words. Well, guess what – I’m leaving – I can’t be your prisoner.
                 G        D                       G         D
I can't be your prisoner-I won’t, I can't be your prisoner-I won't
