[Intro 1]

[C][D][C]

[Verse 1]
A boy I [G]know
is sick in his [D]head[C]
At least that's what
[G]the doctors say [D]he [F]is
Shut in his [Bb]room for hours
on en[C]d[F][Bb]
Looks like he's for[C]gotten,
but [G]is [D]he?[C]
His mind - it [G]ticks more
than [D]you [A]know[C]
One day [D]something in his
head will [G]click[F]
Warders fill him [Bb]full of lies; he fights,
he [C]knows[F][C][F][Bb]
They'll never [C]convince him
that he's [G]mad![A][B]
At breakfast he [C]is strapped in
a chair (won't go far)
[B]Just a word out [C]of place,
he's sent to his [D]room[Em]
[E]Don't tell them you[A]'re sane[Em]
They'll [E]laugh [A]and put you [Em]to sleep
Don't [E]tell them you're sane,
[A]but you are[D][C]
Tell me what you [G]did today,
was [A]it [D]good?[C]
What was it [G]like,
and who was [D]it [F]with?
Don't think [Bb]I'm prying; I'd
just like to [C]know[F][C][F][Bb]
Why it [C]is you do things so [G]slow?[D][B]
Take him to [C]the doctor,
see what [B]he says
I don't know why [C]he bothers; he's in [D]for good
