Creed – My Own Prison chords

D               Bb       F               A court is in session, a verdict is in
D                 BbNo appeal on the docket today
     F            CJust my own sin
D                      BbThe walls are cold and pale
F                        CThe cage made of steel
D     F     BbScreams fill the room
FAlone I drop and kneel
D       BbSilence now the sound
F                         CMy breath the only motion around
D       BbDemons cluttering around
F                           DMy face showing no emotion
D             BbShackled by my sentence
F                     CExpecting no return
D           BbHere there is no penance
FMy skin begins to burn

F                                   Em(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Em              D       EbHiding hate that burns inside
Eb                               DWhich only fuels their selfish pride
F(And I said oh) We're held captive
C            EmOut from the sun
Em                CA sun that shines on only some
Eb                      DWe the meek are all in one

D        Bb             FI hear a thunder in the distance
F                 DSee a vision of a cross
D          BbI feel the pain that was given
F                    COn that sad day of loss
D            BbA lion roars in the darkness
F                      DOnly he holds the key
D                  BbA light to free me from my burden
    F                        DAnd grant me life eternally
