My Own Prison Chords & Lyrics by Creed
My Own Prison
guitar chords lyrics
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
[Guitar break] F C D Bb F C Bb D Bb
F
I cry out to God
C D
Seeking only his decision
Bb
Gabriel stands and confirms
F C D Bb
I've created my own prison
F
I cry out to God
C D
Seeking only his decision
Bb
Gabriel stands and confirms
F C D
I've created my own prison
Bb F Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
C Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Bb D
Which only fuels their selfish pride

A sun that shines on only some

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning
banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time
