[Em]
[E]
Day after day, they send my friends away [Em] To mansions [E] cold and gray
[F] To the far side of town [Dm] Where the thin men stalk [Em] the streets
While [F] the saints stay [E] underground Day after day, [Em] they tell me [E] I can go
They tell me I can blow [F] To the far side of town
[Dm] Where it's pointless [Em] to be high [F] Cause it's such a [E] long way down
So I tell them that I can fly I will scream, [D] I will break [F] my arm
[Dm] I will do [E] me harm Here I stand, foot in [D] hand
Talking to [F] my wall [Dm] I'm not quite light [E] at all, am I?
[F]
Don't set me free [G] I'm as heavy as can be
Just [F] my liprium and me And [E] my EST makes three
Cause [A]
I'd rather stay here [E] With all the madmen
[F#]
Than perish with [A] the sad men, rogue [C#] free [A] And I'd rather play here
[E] With all the madmen But [F#] I'm quite content [A] that all the [B] shame is me

[E]
Day after day, they take some brain away Then turn my face around
To [F] the far side of town [Dm]
And tell me that [Em] it's real
[F] Then ask me how [E] I feel
[F]
[E]
Here I stand, foot in hand Talking to [F] my wall
I'm not [G] quite light at [E] all
[F] Don't set me free
[G] I'm as helpless as can be [F] My libido spits on me
Give [E] me something to butter me
Cause [A] I'd rather stay here
[E] With all the madmen
[F#m] Than perish [A] with the [C#m] sad men, rogue free [A] And I'd rather play here
