E           D  A                E
You ask me how I've become mad now
There was a day, I had so much say
What of my feet? Life seemed to be sweet
I was admired, but I was so tired

F#              B   F#        B
Go through the dam, lion and lamb
 F#               B       F#               B
Know what you're sayin', know what you're sayin'

Things went okay, and then one day, "Pow!"
I can expound with the new words found
If reasons gone, how do I live on?
Because I know, which way I must go

Where can I go, now that I know
Time has gone by, time has gone by

C
Isn't that the madman,
 F
running through the fields?
C                       F             E
Isn't that the madman, wonder how he feels

You look at me, what do you see now?
Is it so bad, or am I just sad?
Are you in doubt, is there a way out
I've seen the crack, I cannot come back

I'm not afraid, sticks out a way
Into the tide, be by my side

Isn't that the madman,
running through the fields?
Isn't that the madman, wonder how he feels

You ask me how I've become mad now
