D#m
Prisoner, prisoner, locked up
              F#maj7
Can't get you off my mind, off my mind
                     Bmaj7
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
G#m7                                       D#m
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

D#m              C#6
Strung out on a feeling, my hands are tied
D#m              C#6
Your face on my ceiling, I fantasize
Bmaj7          G#m7                 D#m       C#6
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it (I can't control it)
D#m         C#6
I try to replace it with city lights
D#m          C#6
I'll never escape it, I need the high
Bmaj7          G#m7                 D#m                   C#6
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it (Control it, oh)

You keep making it harder to stay
      D#m              F7sus4
But I still can't run away
             Bmaj7
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Chorus:
D#m
Prisoner, prisoner, locked up

Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
G#m7
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
D#m
Prisoner, prisoner, locked up
              F#maj7
Can't get you off my mind, off my mind
                     Bmaj7
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
G#m7
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

I tasted Heaven, now I can't live without it
I can't forget you and your love is the loudest
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it
(Can't control it)

You keep making it harder to stay (Oh, ah)
But I still can't run away
I gotta know, why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Chorus:
Prisoner, prisoner, locked up
Can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
Prisoner, prisoner, locked up
Can't get you off my mind, off my mind (Off my mind)
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Can't get you off my mind
Why can't you just let me go?
Million times
I wanna know why can't you, why can't you
I wanna know why can't you, why can't you
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
