         G           A           C C7
I don't want you to worry, I'm okay
      G               A              C C7
Just didn't want you seeing me this way
     G             B7             Em           A7
We tried to talk about it but we didn't understand
    C                           D D7
We never really talked much anyway

I finally found a place to call my own
A place where all good sinners can get stoned
I'll keep my holy vision, you keep your stupid pride
You said I couldn't make it on my own

Chorus:
             C            G
But I'm not dead (I'm in Pittsburgh)
C          A7               D  D7
And now I can't get out of town
             C            G         F# Em
But I'm not dead (I'm in Pittsburgh)
         C                D                C  G
They've got me all strung up, come cut me down

          Em
Like the weeds in all the cracks
        C
All my memories come back
            A7                      Dm D
Like some Alleghenny smack in the face

It's all just one big monkey house to me
Just living ain't the same as being free
Don't stop and think about it
It'll only make you sad
Come put me out of my misery

Chorus:
'Cause I'm not dead (I'm in Pittsburgh)
Where a man can loes his mind
I'm not dead (I'm in Pittsburgh)
They've got me suited up for crazy time

I'm not dead (I'm in Pittsburgh)
And now I can't get out of town
Hey I'm not dead (I'm in Pittsburgh)
