E                      B
I touch the tongue to see
                    A
A devil's face in front of me
               E
A sad man in front of me
E                         B
You blow your nose then cry
                         A
And the clown demands a sad goodbye
               E
A sad man and sad goodbye.
E                 B
Black below the tree
                       A
White horses dead in front of me
               E
A sad man in front of me
E                  B
A scar below the cheek
                                    A
Where there's a sweaty man with a bloody sink
                E
A sad man and bloody sink

Chorus:
C#m           B                A
It's just a trip not a way to ease your pain
C#m               B                 A
Self help, tell another shrink the same damn thing
C#m               B                   A
Stay cool, everything is going to be OK
          C#m      B       A
Until you decide to drop again
             A             E
Until you decide to drop again

A blue jean girl to be
And still, the sweaty man is behind the trees
Behind the trees
The flip side of sanity is the game
I'm fourteen million miles away
I'm fourteen million miles away
Away from sane
A dark man in the restroom window pane
Whose words just pour out human pain

Chorus:
It's just a trip, not a way to ease your pain
(This is not a way to ease your pain)
Self-help, tell another shrink the same damn thing
(Listen for the way to ease your pain)
Stay cool, everything is going to be okay
(I think it's rather time to ease your pain)
Until you decide to drop again
Until you decide to drop
Now I'm so high, so high, so high
So I, so I decide

                      A B E C#m
Until you decide to drop
            A        B        E   C#m
Now I'm so high, so high, so high
   A     B     E
So I, so I decide
E                         B
'Till you decide to drop again
                              A
A carnival ride, you'll trip again
                               E
Until you decide, Until you decide,
Until you decide
E                          B
'Till you decide to drop again
                               A
A carnival ride, you'll trip again
                               E
Until you decide, Until you decide,
Until you decide...

It's just a trip, not a way to ease your pain
Self-help, tell another shrink the same damn thing
Until you decide to drop again
