capo 5th
 C   F   C   G   C   F   Am   G  Fmaj.
WhCite were the walls that encFased my body
WhCite were the hands that locGked me inside
WhCite was the color of evFery other stripe
                  Am                 G  Fmaj.
Of the flag that watched over our dreams
If laCbels are liGmits, then those siAmrens are blFaring
BehiCnd us aGs we fly on Amby
Screaming, "GCet back heGre you diAmrty sons of biFtches
CCan't you reGad that fucAmking siFgn?"
WChite were the sheets upon whFich I slumbered
WChite were the lights that awGoke me
WChite was the noise that echFoed down the hallway
              Am                   G  Fmaj.
And silently rattled through my brain
If labCels are limGits, then we're craAmshing right throFugh that
GlaCss ceiGling overAmhead
And the janCitors keep the brGooms and dusAmtpans in the cFloset
And smCile wideG-eyed towards the Amsky

And the janCitors keep the brGooms and dusAmtpans in the cFloset
And smCile wideG-eyed towards the Amsky

C F C G C F Am G Fmaj

C F

White were the walls that encased my body

C G

White were the hands that locked me inside

C F

White was the color of every other stripe

Am G Fmaj

Of the flag that watched over our dreams

C G Am F

If labels are limits, then those sirens are blaring

C G Am

Behind us as we fly on by

C G Am F

Screaming, "Get back here you dirty sons of bitches

C G Am F

Can't you read that fucking sign?"

C F

White were the sheets upon which I slumbered

C G

White were the lights that awoke me

C F

White was the noise that echoed down the hallway

Am G Fmaj

And silently rattled through my brain

C G Am F

If labels are limits, then we're crashing right through that

C G Am

Glass ceiling overhead

C G Am F

And the janitors keep the brooms and dustpans in the closet

C G Am

And smile wide-eyed towards the sky
