[Verse 1]
E
Nothing feels stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
B
Not even the smog of the city
E
With the sun in my eyes
E
And the cars rushing by
E B E A E
Even yellow snow looks kind of pretty
E E B E E B E A E
[Verse 2]
E
Nothing tastes stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
B
This coffee is heaven in black
E
When I pour my first cup
E
All the steam rises up
B E A E
And I’m glad, so glad to be back
[Chorus 1]
B E
Call up Johnny, it’s been too long
B E A E
Find out if his wheels still turn
B A
Then again, I wonder if it’s worth my while
B
Have I got that time left to burn?
E
Time left to burn
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
E
Everything shines like a big neon sign
B
And the girl down the hall looks so pretty
E
There’s music in my ears
And music in my mind
B E A E
The radio is good company
[Chorus 2]
B E
Home sweet home, where I belong
B E A E
Open all the doors because I can
B E
The windows need washing but the light streams in
B
Singing out that I’m free man
E
I’m free man
B
I’m free man
A B
I’m free man
E
I’m free man

Locked up in a cage
E
I saw the beast in me
