Unhappy girl
Cm         A#
Left all alone
 Cm          A#
Playin' solitaire
         Cm             A#
Playin' warden to your soul
         Cm          A#
You are locked in a prison

Of your own device

Chorus:
        Gm
And you can't believe what it
 Fm      A#m
Does to me
   Cm
To see you cryin'

Unhappy girl
Tear your web away
Saw through all your bars
Melt your cell today
You are caught in a prison
Of your own device

Unhappy girl
Fly fast away
Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison
Of your own device
