You've spent some time in a mental institution

Bbm            Ebm
What a dream

Ebm               Bbm
Life would seem

Bbm      F7                                Bbm         Gb7  F7*
If only...   They let you keep your etch-a-sketch


        Bbm
Oh, you laugh like a banshee

     F7  
Gesticulate your delerium

     Bbm
They treat you like a corpse

         Ebm                     Bbm
Keep you full of candy lithium

I can tell by the way you reach your conclusions

Bbm                      Ebm                  Bbm
You're the director of a mental institution

Life would seem 

Bbm       F7
If only...

An alternate reality

Consummate a self-pleasing artificiality


F7
You can have yourself a tea

(now strum the chords)
