           Am          Bm             C          D   Am G/B C D
There's a watch in my pocket and its hands are broken
     Am      Bm            C         D   Am G/B C D
The face is blank but the gears are turning
    Am G/B C D       Am           G/B     C   D
Confusion      is a fundamental state of mind
     Am            G/B             C        D
It doesn't really matter what I'm figuring out
      Am           G/B           C       D
I'm guaranteed to wind up in a state of doubt

Chorus:
     Am  G       F         G
And sanity is a full-time job
Am    G            F        E
In a world that is always changing
     Am  G        F       G
And sanity is a state of mind
      Am    G         F   E
That you believe in, sanity

There's a shadow on the wall where the paint is peeling
My body's moving forward, but my mind is reeling
Depression is a fundamental state of being
It doesn't really matter how my day has turned out
I always end up living in this world of doubt

Chorus:
And sanity is a full-time job
In a world that is always changing
And sanity will make you strong
If you believe in sanity

And sanity is a full-time job
In a world that is always changing
And sanity is a state of mind
That you believe in, sanity
