Janelle Monae - Locked Inside Chords

[VERSE]
             Abm7
I'm locked inside
   E                   Gb
A land called foolish pride
          Ebm           Abm7
Where the man is always right
             E                 Gb
He hates to talk but loves to fight
         Db
Is that alright?
             Abm7
On real cold days
    E                Gb
He loans us lots of hate
       Ebm               Abm7
But he says that we must pay
    E           Gb
To take it all away
        Db
Is that ok?


[BRIDGE]
        Abm7                Dbm
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
        Ebm                E
In this land where we are free
      Abm7
And I know it's rough
           Dbm
And you've had enough
        Gb             E
But one day we'll be happy

           Gb                         Fm7
And when I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
  E                                  Dbm
Hearts of hatred rule the land while love is left aside
 G                                  D
Killing plagues the citizens while music slowly dies
        E        Esus2            E        Esus4
I get frightened, I, see, I get frightened, I...


[HOOK]
Gb                         E
Oh how, oh how I need you baby
                       Gb
To keep me from going crazy
                   E
I really need you baby,

Need you to stay
Gb                         E
Oh how, oh how I love you baby
                     Gb
These people are so crazy
                   E
I really need you baby

Need you to stay


[VERSE]
Abm7
She's quick to fight
         E               Gb
For her man but not her rights
      Ebm          Abm7
Even though it's 3005
              E            Gb
When will we end this genocide?
           Db
And that's not right
       Abm7
Her children cry
            E                 Gb
No food to eat and afraid as flies
           Db                      Abm7
The color black means it's time to die
       E              Gb
And nobody questions why
                   Db
Cause they're too scared to stop the man

[BRIDGE]
        Abm7                Dbm
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
        Ebm                E
In this land where we are free
      Abm7
And I know it's rough
           Dbm
And you've had enough
        Gb             E
But one day we'll be happy

        Gb                          Fm7
When I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes
 E                                 Dbm
Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles
      G                               D
The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies
            E      Esus2                E      Esus4
To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside!

[BRIDGE]
            Gb                            Fm7
And when I look into your pretty eyes, I almost want to cry
    E                              Dbm
I think about my life and I don't want to live a lie
 G                           D
How I need you baby, I need you right by my side
        E    Esus2          E    Esus4   Gb
I need you tonight, I need you tonight
