Locked Inside chords by Janelle Monae

Song: Locked Inside
Album: The ArchAndroid


       Bmaj7
I'm locked inside
 C#m         Ebm
A land called foolish pride
     Fm      Bmaj7
Where the man is always right
      C#m        Ebm
He hates to talk but loves to fight
      Fm
Is that all right?

       Bmaj7
On real cold days
  C#m       Ebm
He loans us lots of hate
    Fm        Bmaj7
But he says that we must pay
      C#m        Ebm
To take it all away
    Fm
Is that ok?

    Bmaj7        C#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
    Ebm        Fm
In this land where we are free
    Bmaj7        C#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
    Ebm        Fm
But one day we'll be happy



Bridge:
    C#sus4           F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7                Amaj7
Hearts of hatred rule the land While others left outside
C                Gmaj7
Killing, bleeding citizen while music slowly dies
     E     D      E     D
And I get frightened I, see I get frightened I

Chorus:
Bmja7           C#m
Oh how, oh how I need you baby
            Ebm
You keep me from going crazy
         Fm
I really need you baby, need you to stay
Bmja7           C#m
Oh how, oh how I love you baby
          Ebm
These people are so crazy
         Fm
I really need you baby, need you to stay

Bmaj7
She always fights
    C#m       Ebm
For her man but not her rights
   Fm       Bmaj7
Even though it's 3005
       C#m     Ebm
When will we end this genocide?
        Fm
And that's not right

      Bmaj7
Her children cry
      C#m        Ebm
No food to eat and afraid as flies
     Fm           Bmaj7
The color black means its time to die
   C#m      Ebm
And nobody questions why
         Fm
Cause they're too scared to stop them now


    Bmaj7        C#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
    Ebm        Fm
In this land where we are free
    Bmaj7        C#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
    Ebm        Fm
But one day we'll be happy

    C#sus4           F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7               Amaj7
Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles
  C                Gmaj7
The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies
      E    D         E    D
To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside


Chorus


Bmaj7     C#m
 I can make a change
Ebm      Fm
 I can start a fire

 Lord, make me love again
Ebm      Fm
 Father, fill me with desire

Bmaj7     C#m
 I can make a change
Ebm      Fm
 I can start a fire
B       C#m
 Lord, make me love again
Ebm      Fm
 Father, fill me with desire

C#sus4 F#maj7
