Capo on 7th fret 

Full hand picking 

Intro: G 


 G                                 Am
I am a prisoner in the sunlight / you are my cellmate in the darkness / 
   C                                  D                    G 
there's a box full of mix tapes with titles you came up with / 
  G
they can show us where we came from but not how to get back there / 
 Am                                                              C
listening to the songs can't heal my broken fingers it's just weight for the 
 D                       G
anchor to keep your ship here

G Am C D G


 G                                     Am
goldfish crackers in a zip-lock bag / in a gas station garbage can / 
 C                                 D                G
I'm filling up this evening so I won't have to at 6am / 
 G
on my way into work but that could have been me / 
 Am
working behind that counter on the curb there smoking / 
 C                                     D                      G
we're really not that different just a few steps from exploding

 G                Am              C
now I'm serving time / till I've earned the right / 
 C                                D          G
to go back to the place where we started from / 
 G                Am             C
now I'm serving time / till I've earned the right / 
 C                          D                  G
baby I swear one day we'll get the money straight

version 2







Tuning: Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb
   half step down/flat

When playing this you should finger pick it to get the softer sound plus
it's much easier to be using two fingers intstead of one pick.
Use the bar chords instead of the normal chords it's much easier because 
You can pluck the 3 strings that you are manipulating with your frethand. 
Just roll down from the top chord, the middle chord, then the bottom. keeping
that rolling motion the whole song.

I am a prisoner in the sunlight / you are my cellmate in the darkness /
