The Prisoner
K. Kristofferson
Album: Surreal Thing
INTRO: D G
G C G
Thankin' you for openin' my eyes so clear
C G
Sweepin' old illusions from my soul
C G
Most of all for turnin' somethin' simple and sincere
A7 )D
Into somethin' jaded and as jive as rock and roll
CHORUS:
)G C G
Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four-letter word
C
That I made up to make you ill-at ease
G
I've fought to free you from your castle of despair
D G
'Til I saw the prison wall was me
C G
See the soul who calls itself a prisoner
D G
'Cause it's still too frightened to be free
C G
I feel so much older now and wiser
D G
Ain't it sad how lonesome that can be
BREAK: G C G C G C G A7 D
CHORUS
OUTRO: D C G C G
