[Verse]
C F
You're working like a monkey whos been trained by a sick junkie
F C
On a mission to get money for a new suit and tie
C F
To wear to a reception where they envy your deception
F C
And give compliments and praises to the ones they despise
C F
Practicing your smile in the mirror all the while
F C
Try to cultivate the style of the bastards in power
C F
We know you're selling your nervous twitch is telling
F C
You're coming off smelling like the pig of the hour
[Chorus]
A#5
Got a lot of people telling
F
Me I'm outta my mind
C
And I don't know why
A#5
I've got a lot of people telling
F
Me I'm outta my mind
C G
And I don't know why
[Verse]
C F
My brain was bleeding and my fingers were proceding
F C
Through a notebook I was keeping since the dawning of time
C F
Senses were coroded you know that I was loaded
F C
Lack of sight out of feelings and I'll come out in a while
C F
You were dealing I was reeling from the feeling
F C
And the madness was consealing it's a siren song
C F
People that I trusted would surley have me busted
F C
If they ever had a clue what was really going on
[Chorus]
A#5
Got a lot of people telling
F
Me I'm outta my mind
C
And I don't know why, see
A#5
I've got a lot of people telling
F
Me I'm outta my mind
C G
And I don't know why
[Bridge]
