Near the end he walks from C to Em; to do this, incorporate picking the low C note
[A string, 3rd fret], to the B right under it [A string, 2nd fret], and then G
[low E string, 3rd fret] into your strumming, followed by Em, with a strong accent
on the open E. It isn't required but it sounds really nice the way it follows the
vocals, and gives the song somewhat of a signature sound.
Intro:
This place is a prison
And these people aren't your friends
Inhaling thrills through twenty dollar bills
As the tumblers are drained
And then flooded again and again
x2
There's guards at the on ramps
Armed to the teeth
And you may case the grounds
From the Cascades to Puget Sound
But you are not permitted to leave
I know there's a big world out there
Like the one that I saw on the screen
In my living room late last night
It was almost too bright to see
And I know that it's not a party
If it happens every night
Pretending there's glamour and candelabra
As you're drinking by candlelight
C WALK - TO - Em Dsus4
What does it take to get a drink in this place?
What does it take, how long must I wait?
[repeat to end]
