[Verse 1]
G#
Nothing feels stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
D#
Not even the smog of the city
G#
With the sun in my eyes
G#
And the cars rushing by
G# D# G# C# G#
Even yellow snow looks kind of pretty
G# G# D# G# G# D# G# C# G#
[Verse 2]
G#
Nothing tastes stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
D#
This coffee is heaven in black
G#
When I pour my first cup
G#
All the steam rises up
D# G# C# G#
And I’m glad, so glad to be back
[Chorus 1]
D# G#
Call up Johnny, it’s been too long
D# G# C# G#
Find out if his wheels still turn
D# C#
Then again, I wonder if it’s worth my while
D#
Have I got that time left to burn?
G#
Time left to burn
[Interlude]
G# D# G# G# D# G# C# G#
[Verse 3]
G#
Everything shines like a big neon sign
D#
And the girl down the hall looks so pretty
G#
There’s music in my ears
And music in my mind
D# G# C# G#
The radio is good company
[Chorus 2]
D# G#
Home sweet home, where I belong
D# G# C# G#
Open all the doors because I can
D# G#
The windows need washing but the light streams in
D#
Singing out that I’m free man
G#
I’m free man
D#
I’m free man
C# D#
I’m free man
G#
I’m free man
G# C# D# G# C# G#
[Bridge]
C# Aadd9
Time has come to talk the straight path
G# C# Aadd9 A#add9 C#
Poison all around me, I want to purify
G# Aadd9
No, I haven’t been myself
A#add9 Aadd9
Locked up in a cage
G#
I saw the beast in me
