E Day after day They send my friends away To mansions cold and grey F To the far side of town Dm Em Where the thin men stalk the streets F E While the sane stay underground Day after day They tell me I can go They tell me I can blow To the far side of town Where it's pointless to be high Because it's such a long way down E So I tell them that Dm F I can fly, I will scream, I will break my arm Dm E I will do me harm Dm F Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall Dm E I'm not quite right at all, am I? F G Don't set me free, I'm as heavy as can be F E Just my librium and me and my EST makes three Chorus: E A E 'Cause I'd rather stay here with all the madmen F#m A C# Than perish with the sadmen roaming free A E And I'd rather play here with all the madmen F#m A Bm For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me Day after day They take some brain away Then turn my face around To the far side of town And tell me that it's real Then ask me how I feel Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall I'm not quite right at all Don't set me free, I'm as helpless as can be My libido's split on me, gimme some good 'ole lobotomy Chorus A F#m Zane, zane, zane, ouvre le chien Bm G Zane, zane, zane ouvre le chien You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#  Dm  E  Em  F  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
