My ego will just confuse me, some day it's going to up and use me Dish me out another tailor-made compliment Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent And however much I squirm There ain't no way out, there ain't no way out I don't care what you say, boy, there ain't no way out Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place? [bridge] |Cmaj7 | |Em | | And the night comes down like a cell door closing |Cmaj7 | |Em | | Suddenly I realize that I'm writing now more honestly |D | |E7sus4 |E7 | While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head up floating |D | |E7sus4 |E7 Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me and on at me |E7sus4 |E7 But I don't care what you say |A D/A |A D/A |A D/A |A |D/A | There ain't no way out There ain't no way out Now the walls are all clawed and scratched, like by some soul insane In the morning I hung-overly detach myself, I'll take no blame I just can't face my failure, I'm nothing but a well-fucked sailor You at home can easily decide what's right By glancing very briefly at the songs I write But it don't help me that you know There still ain't no way out, won't somebody tell me? I don't care what you say, boy, there ain't no way out There ain't no way out, there ain't no way out, there ain't no way out Give me the key, give me the key, now, give me the key, now, Give me the key, oh, there ain't now way out of here Oh, tell me, tell me, there ain't no way out, there ain't no way out There ain't no way out There ain't no way out, there ain't no way out There ain't no way out, there ain't no way out ============= litgo@aol.com
