Verse 1:
D     C       G                  D       C       G
Schizophrenic nightmares sending shivers down my spine
  D        C      G              D             C       G
I may be a little twisted, but I swear that my life is fine

Chorus:
A   B             C                          G
I'm living with a perfect stranger, is there anybody home?
A   B             C                       D
I'm living with a perfect stranger, but I find myself alone

Riff 1 x2

Verse 2:
               D          C         G
Well I'm still working to make life better, 
            D      C          G
Though I've fallen from God's grace
    D         C         G
I'm standing still in a shattered mirror, 
D          C        G
Staring at somebody else's face

Chorus x1

Bridge:
G~                                  F-G~
Just when things are back on track, I sabotage myself
F-G~                                       F-G~
These are all certain telltale signs of my decaying mental health

      I find myself alone!

End on G
