Verse:

EDay (022100@1)after day
     E7 (020130@1)              EThey (022100@1)send my friends away
   E7 (020130@1)              ETo (022100@1)mansions cold and grey
       F (133211@1)    
To the far side of town
          Dm7                EWhere (022100@1)the thin men stalk the streets
          F (133211@1)             EWhile (022100@1)the sane stay underground

EDay (022100@1)after day
     E7 (020130@1)          EThey (022100@1)tell me I can go
     E7 (020130@1)          EThey (022100@1)tell me I can blow
       F (133211@1)   
To the far side of town
           Dm7             EWhere (022100@1)it's pointless to be high
            F (133211@1)             E'Cause (022100@1)it's such a long way down

So I tell them that

Break:
E (022100@1)   
I can fly
EI (022100@1)will scream
E (022100@1)             FI (133211@1)will break my arm
Dm7           EI (022100@1)will do me harm

E (022100@1)     
Here I stand
Efoot (022100@1)in hand 
E (022100@1)           Ftalking (133211@1)to my wall
    Dm7                E (022100@1)   
I'm not quite right at all...am I?

Pre Chorus:
F (133211@1)          
Don't set me free 
       GI'm (320003@1)as heavy as can be
        FJust (133211@1)my librium and me
       EAnd (022100@1)my E.S.T. make three

Chorus:
           A'Cause (x02220@1)I'd rather stay here
     EWith (022100@1)all the madmen
     F#m (244222@1)            A (x02220@1)           C#Than (x43121@1)perish with the sadmen roaming free

A (x02220@1)                                                      
And I'd rather play here
     EWith (022100@1)all the madmen
        F#m (244222@1)                 A (x02220@1)            BmFor (x24432@1)I'm quite content they're all as sane as me

E A F#m Bm G

(Silence 12 beats or so)
Where can the horizon lie
When a nation hides
Its organic minds
In a cellar...
dark and grim
They must be very dim

Verse:

EDay (022100@1)after day
     E7 (020130@1)              EThey (022100@1)take some brain away
     E7 (020130@1)          EThen (022100@1)turn my face around
       FTo (133211@1)the far side of town
    Dm7               EAnd (022100@1)tell me that it's real
     F (133211@1)          EThen (022100@1)ask me how I feel

Break:

E E E F Dm7 E E

E (022100@1)

I'm not quite right at all

Pre Chorus:

FDon't (133211@1)set me free
       G (320003@1)I'm as helpless as can be
     FMy (133211@1)libido's split on me
           EGimme (022100@1)some good 'ol lobotomy
