The Escape Artist Lyrics

The lyrics and the chords are taken from the SoulKitchenFR-Session from youtube and a
live performance I attended.
Originally he plays the Dsus chord but for me personally I prefer the Dsus4 as I can
strum more freely. To my untrained ear it sounds pretty much the same. As the graph below
shows, you may not play the E and A string when playing Dsus, whereas when playing
Dsus4, you simply mute the A string with your index finger(which you put on the E-string, 2nd
fret) and can play all strings basically.
All chords are played for 4 beats apart when marked by (chord1)->(chord2), this is the
case when Em7 is followed by Dsus, then you play Em7 for 3 beats and Dsus for 1 beat,
apart from the second last line of the verses, where it's 2 beats Em7 and 2 beats Dsus.
Also, in Bridge 1, when Dsus is followed by G, it's 3 beats Dsus and 1 beat G. Watch and more
importantly LISTEN to the video if you're not sure.
Em7->Dsus G Cadd9 Dsus | x2
Em7->Dsus G
Tie my hands behind my back
I'll close my eyes and think of England
Em7->Dsus
Bring the sack down
Pull the ropes round
C Em7->D
Push me into crates and boxes
As you always do
If this ever goes the wrong way
Save me from the where are they now
If they ever figure out
Let chains be ashes
Oh let chains be ashes
Instrumental
Em7->Dsus G Cadd9 Dsus | x2
Em7->Dsus G
Call the papers, radio stations
Flash ball blimey
Make me famous
Em7->Dsus G
Build a temple of my body
Cadd9 Em7->Dsus
Burn my name in New York City
As I need you to
If this ever goes the wrong way
Save me from the where are they now
If they ever figure out
Let chains be ashes
Oh let chains be ashes
Let these chains be ashes
Oh let chains be ashes
I'm inside the blackest light
The outside is mine tonight
I'm inside the blackest light
Cadd9 Dsus->G
The outside is mine tonight
If this ever goes the wrong way
Save me from the where are they now
If they ever figure out
Let chains be ashes
Oh let chains be ashes
Let these chains be ashes
Oh let chains be ashes
