Blue October is an alternative rock band headquartered in San Marcos, Texas, but is originally from Houston, Texas. The band was formed in 1995 when two former high school friends Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals) and Ryan Delahoussaye (violin/viola, mandolin, keyboards, and vocals), set out to create an alternative rock band that has since gone on to have twelve Top 40 singles across nine studio albums and six albums reaching the Top 40 charts.
Current members of Blue October include Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals)

"Schizophrenia" by Blue October From the album "Consent to Treatment" (I think)
Notes: This song rocks and it's pretty easy: Em C G D throughout. The sustained parts are just Em. If you throw your pinky on the C and D chords, you can spice it up a little. I think they call those chords C7 and Dsus? Who knows. I also whistle the violin parts, and it sounds pretty cool. Comments are welcome at [email protected].
(Intro) EmCGD (x2)
(Verse 1) EmC A silver plated numbing gum GD And jesus resting on my thumb A hard to reach malaria I've got the mood that seems to scare ya And I'm paranoid self destroyed Believe me Lord I'm sorry I've got the mood that seems to bury ya I've got the nightmare called... Schizophrenia
(Chorus) EmC I cry I cry and I don't know why GD The fever becomes my home EmC I cry I cry and I don't know why GD The fever becomes my home Em Becomes my home EmCGD Becomes myyyyyyyyyyyyy hooooooooome
(Verse 2) And I love it when you're holding me You have a gentle way of calming I haven't felt that way since 1993 When my mother held me I bet you're waiting for a long sob story Of how I was mistreated again No, 'cause no I wasn't built that way I was strong but desperately brave And I didn't mean to scare ya...
