Verse:

   ||: F  Gm7  Fmaj7/A Bbmaj7 C Dm7 E/C C :||
    In my prison cell I think these words
    I was careless, I can see that now
   ||: Dm  G   C   F    Bb  Eb G   C :||
    I must be silent, must contain my secret smile
    I want to tell you - you my mirror, you my iron bars

 Am               Bb           C      Dm
    When I made a shadow on my window shade
 Eb                 G          C   Bb
    They called the police and testified
 Am                      Bb                C      Dm
    But they're like the people chained up in the cave
 G            -            Bb            C
   I n the allegory of the people in the cave by the Greek guy

Chorus:

 ||: F  Gm7  Fmaj7/A Bbmaj7 C Dm7 E/C C :||
 No one understands
 no one knows my plan
 ||: Dm  G   C   F    Bb  Eb G   C :||
 why the dancing, shouting; why the shrieks of pain
 the lovely music - why the smell of burning autumn leaves

Chorus

Verse:
 In my prison cell I bide my time
 Always thinking, always busy cooking up an angle
 Working on the tiny blueprint of the angle
 Sketching out the burning autumn leaves

 Chorus:
 No one understands
 no one knows my plan
 I must be silent, must contain my secret smile
 I want to tell you - you my mirror, you my iron bars
