My Own Prison chords by Creed

D        Bb    F
A court is in session, a verdict is in
D         Bb
No appeal on the docket today
   F      C
Just my own sin
D           Bb
The walls are cold and pale
F            C
The cage made of steel
D   F   Bb
Screams fill the room
F
Alone I drop and kneel
D    Bb
Silence now the sound
F             C
My breath the only motion around
D    Bb
Demons cluttering around
F              D
My face showing no emotion
D       Bb
Shackled by my sentence
F           C
Expecting no return
D      Bb
Here there is no penance
F

My skin begins to burn

F                  Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Em       D    Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Eb                D
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F
(And I said oh) We're held captive
C      Em
Out from the sun
Em        C
A sun that shines on only some
Eb           D
We the meek are all in one


Solo
D Bb F C D


D    Bb       F
I hear a thunder in the distance
F         D
See a vision of a cross
D     Bb
I feel the pain that was given
F          C
On that sad day of loss
D      Bb
A lion roars in the darkness
F           D
Only he holds the key
D         Bb
A light to free me from my burden
  F            D
And grant me life eternally
D         Bb

Should have been dead
      F
On a Sunday morning     X2
      C    D
Banging my head
D      Bb
No time for mourning
   F       C D
Ain't got no time




C      F            Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
      C     Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
                D
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F             C
(And I said oh) We're held captive
       Em
Out from the sun
           D
A sun that shines on only some
Eb           D
We the meek are all in one
