[Verse 1]
B
Nothing feels stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
F#
Not even the smog of the city
B
With the sun in my eyes
B
And the cars rushing by
B F# B E B
Even yellow snow looks kind of pretty
B B F# B B F# B E B
[Verse 2]
B
Nothing tastes stale
When you’re fresh out of jail
F#
This coffee is heaven in black
B
When I pour my first cup
B
All the steam rises up
F# B E B
And I’m glad, so glad to be back
[Chorus 1]
F# B
Call up Johnny, it’s been too long
F# B E B
Find out if his wheels still turn
F# E
Then again, I wonder if it’s worth my while
F#
Have I got that time left to burn?
B
Time left to burn
[Interlude]
B F# B B F# B E B
[Verse 3]
B
Everything shines like a big neon sign
F#
And the girl down the hall looks so pretty

There’s music in my ears
And music in my mind
F# B E B
The radio is good company
[Chorus 2]
F# B
Home sweet home, where I belong
F# B E B
Open all the doors because I can

The windows need washing but the light streams in
F#
Singing out that I’m free man
B
I’m free man

I’m free man

I’m free man
B
I’m free man

Time has come to talk the straight path
B E Aadd9 A#add9 E
Poison all around me, I want to purify

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