[Verse 1]
G
Nothing feels stale

When you’re fresh out of jail
                         D
Not even the smog of the city
         G
With the sun in my eyes
G
And the cars rushing by
G         D                          G C G
Even yellow snow looks kind of pretty

G G D G G D G C G

[Verse 2]
G
Nothing tastes stale

When you’re fresh out of jail
                         D
This coffee is heaven in black
G
When I pour my first cup
G
All the steam rises up
        D                   G   C G
And I’m glad, so glad to be back

[Chorus 1]
D                    G
Call up Johnny, it’s been too long
D                            G  C G
Find out if his wheels still turn
D                            C
Then again, I wonder if it’s worth my while
                             D
Have I got that time left to burn?
             G
Time left to burn

[Verse 3]
G
Everything shines like a big neon sign
                                    D
And the girl down the hall looks so pretty
        G
There’s music in my ears

And music in my mind
    D             G      C G
The radio is good company

[Chorus 2]
D            G
Home sweet home, where I belong
D                            G C G
Open all the doors because I can
D                                G
The windows need washing but the light streams in
                          D
Singing out that I’m free man
         G
I’m free man
         D
I’m free man
         C   D
I’m free man
         G
I’m free man

[Bridge]
C                         Aadd9
Time has come to talk the straight path
G           C           Aadd9        A#add9 C
Poison all around me, I want to purify
G             Aadd9
No, I haven’t been myself
A#add9         Aadd9
Locked up in a cage
  G
I saw the beast in me
