Locked Inside


Artist: 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 B C#m 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 Dmaj7 Amaj7 C Gmaj7 E D E D
