Alcatraz

C                                                    Am
I’ve got to hand it to you for making it off the island
                           F
I was seduced by the traumas
                  G                      C
The funeral mourners would whisper in line
C                                                     Am
I got to give it to you for breaking out of the seasons
                           F
I was coerced by a nightmare
                 G                     C
Where every knife turned away on a breeze


F        G    Am
You walk away across the line
F        G    Am
You fade away hung on a wire
F        G           Am G
You fall asleep and tell yourself that this don’t matter at all

C                                                        Am
I’ve got to give it to you for breaking free of the numbers,
                             F
I can’t sleep from the gunshots,
             G                     C
And every pin drop I hear on the wind, yeah.
C                                                    Am
I ve got to hand it to you for making it off the island
                             F
I was restrained by the warders
               G                      C
Patrolling the borders behind of my eyes

F        G    Am
You walk away across the line
F        G    Am
You fade away hung on a wire
F        G           Am          G
You fall asleep and tell yourself that this don’t matter at all
No

C Am F G
           C
You walk away
             Am
Don’t walk away
              F                 C
All these things don’t matter now.
