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