verse 1: 
E                  D                  E 
DAY AFTER DAY, THEY SEND MY FRIENDS AWAY 
    D                  E 
TO MANSIONS COLD AND GREY 
        F 
TO THE FAR SIDE OF TOWN 
           Dm7                E 
WHERE THE THIN MEN STALKS THE STREET 
           F            E 
WHILE THE SANE STAY UNDERGROUND 
E               D                 E 
DAY AFTER DAY, THEY TELL ME I CAN GO 
      D              E 
THEY TELL ME I CAN BLOW 
        F 
TO THE FAR SIDE OF TOWN 
             Dm7             E 
WHERE IT'S POINTLESS TO BE HIGH 
             F                E 
'CAUSE IT'S SUCH A LONG WAY DOWN 
E 
SO I TELL THEM THAT 
 
chorus: 
 
E 
I CAN FLY, I WILL SCREAM, 
                 F 
I WILL BREAK MY ARM 
               E 
I WILL DO ME HARM 
E 
HERE I STAND, FOOT IN HAND, 
               F 
TALKING TO MY WALL 
                       E 
I'M NOT QUITE RIGHT AT ALL (AM I?) 
F 
DON'T SET ME FREE 
G 
I'M AS HAPPY AS CAN BE 
          F 
JUST MY LIBRIUM AND ME 
          E         E7 
AND MY E.S.T MAKE THREE 
          A           A9 A 
FOR I'D RATHER STAY HERE 
      E 
WITH ALL THE MADMEN 
       F#m             A             C#m 
THAN PERISH WITH THE SADMEN ROAMING FREE 
          A 
YES I'D RATHER PLAY HERE 
      E 
WITH ALL THE MADMEN 
         F#m                   A              Bm 
FOR I'M QUITE CONTENT THEY'RE ALL AS SANE AS ME. 
 
Bm G A F#m Bm G

verse 3 
DAY AFTER DAY, THEY TAKE SOME BRAIN AWAY 
AND TURN MY FACE AROUND 
TO THE FAR SIDE OF TOWN 
AND TELL ME THAT IT'S REAL 
THEN ASK ME HOW I FEEL

A                F#m 
ZANE ZANE ZANE, OUVRE LA CHIEN 
Bm                G 
ZANE ZANE ZANE, OUVRE LA CHIEN 
 
Keep repeating and fade out
