E                  D                  E
DAY AFTER DAY, THEY SEND MY FRIENDS AWAY

WHILE THE SANE STAY UNDERGROUND

DAY AFTER DAY, THEY TELL ME I CAN GO

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

          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

YES I'D RATHER PLAY HERE
      E
WITH ALL THE MADMEN
         F#m                   A              Bm
