Intro
G-E-G-E-A-G-E
verse 1:
E                  E7                E
DAY AFTER DAY, THEY SEND MY FRIENDS AWAY
    E7                E
TO MANSIONS COLD AND GREY
        F
TO THE FAR SIDE OF TOWN
           Dm                   E
WHERE THE THIN MEN STALKS THE STREET
           F            E
WHILE THE SANE STAY UNDERGROUND
E                    E7           E
DAY AFTER DAY, THEY TELL ME I CAN GO
      E7            E
THEY TELL ME I CAN BLOW
        F
TO THE FAR SIDE OF TOWN
             Dm             E
WHERE IT’S POINTLESS TO BE HIGH
             F                E
’CAUSE IT’S SUCH A LONG WAY DOWN
E
SO I TELL THEM THAT

chorus:

E
I CAN FLY, I WILL SCREAM,
Dm               F
I WILL BREAK MY ARM
Dm             E
I WILL DO ME HARM
E
HERE I STAND, FOOT IN HAND,
Dm             F
TALKING TO MY WALL
 Dm                     E
I’M NOT QUITE RIGHT AT ALL (AM I?)
F
DON’T SET ME FREE
G
I’M AS HAPPY AS CAN BE
          F
JUST MY LIBRIUM AND ME
          E
AND MY E.S.T MAKE THREE
          A           A9-A
FOR I’D RATHER STAY HERE
      E
WITH ALL THE MADMEN
       F#m             E             C#
THAN PERISH WITH THE SADMEN ROAMING FREE
          A
YES I’D RATHER PLAY HERE
      E
WITH ALL THE MADMEN
         F#m                   E              B
FOR I’M QUITE CONTENT THEY’RE ALL AS SANE AS ME.

B-E-A-F#m-B-G

verse 3
DAY AFTER DAY, THEY TAKE SOME BRAIN AWAY
AND TURN MY FACE AROUND
TO THE FAR SIDE OF TOWN
AND TELL ME THAT IT’S REAL
THEN ASK ME HOW I FEEL

chorus

A                F#m
ZANE ZANE ZANE, OUVRE LA CHIEN
B                G
ZANE ZANE ZANE, OUVRE LA CHIEN
