Intro:   C    F    G  x2

Verse 1
C
Look at me
      Am
I'm happy as can be
           F
About the air in my lungs
          G
And the stories I've spun
    C
About being satisfied
Am
Most of the time
                 F
Listening to the wind and the rain
         G
Always wondering

Chorus
C         B/C          Am/C   G/C
Why does everybody run away

Tell me, tell me
C           B/C         Am/C     G/C
When will I get myself straight
     F          G
Help me, help me

Verse 2
          C
"Cos the good people I know
    Am
They come and they go
               F
Talking 'bout hospitals
                  G
Making room for criminals
     C
And they look at me
                Am
They think I'm mad as can be
              F
'Cos I got a criminal inside
     G
That I just can't hide
     C
And I'm frustrated
        Am
I try to medicate it
      F
But nothing's as strong
         G
As the damage I've done

Chorus

When will I get myself straight

Help me, help me
