Near the end he walks from C to Em; to do this, incorporate picking the low C note
[A string, 3rd fret], to the B right under it [A string, 2nd fret], and then G
[low E string, 3rd fret] into your strumming, followed by Em, with a strong accent
on the open E. It isn't required but it sounds really nice the way it follows the
vocals, and gives the song somewhat of a signature sound.
Intro: Em-G
Em G
This place is a prison
Em G
And these people aren't your friends
Em G
Inhaling thrills through twenty dollar bills
D
As the tumblers are drained
C
And then flooded again and again
Dsus4-Em-G x2
Em G
There's guards at the on ramps
Em G
Armed to the teeth
Em
And you may case the grounds
G
From the Cascades to Puget Sound
D
But you are not permitted to leave
C Dsus4
I know there's a big world out there
Em G
Like the one that I saw on the screen
C Dsus4
In my living room late last night
Em C
It was almost too bright to see
Dsus4
And I know that it's not a party
Em C
If it happens every night
Dsus4
Pretending there's glamour and candelabra
Em
As you're drinking by candlelight
Em-Dsus4-
C WALK - TO - Em Dsus4
What does it take to get a drink in this place?
C Em
What does it take, how long must I wait?
[repeat to end]
