Em		 C
A silver plated numbing gum
G 		  D
And jesus resting on my thumb
A hard to reach malaria
I've got the mood that seems to scare ya
And I'm paranoid self destroyed
Believe me Lord I'm sorry
I've got the mood that seems to bury ya
I've got the nightmare called...
Schizophrenia

Chorus:
Em	  C
I cry I cry and I don't know why
     G		      D		
The fever becomes my home
Em        C
I cry I cry and I don't know why
     G		      D
The fever becomes my home
            Em
Becomes my home
	 C G D
Becomes my  home

I love it when you're holding me
You have a gentle way of calming
I haven't felt that way since 1993
When my mother held me
I bet you're waiting for a long sob story
Of how I was mistreated again
No, I wasn't built that way
I was strong but desperately brave
And I didn't mean to scare ya, Schizophrenia

Chorus

Becomes my home
Becomes my home
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
It becomes my home
It becomes my home
It becomes my home
The fever becomes my home
Becomes my home
My home
My home
My home
