[Intro]
C G Am F 2x

[Verse 1]
F                          C              G
When the world has gone mad
Am                          F
And there’s nowhere to roam
C                          G
The lights are all on
Am                          F
but nobody’s home
C                  G
There comes a time
Am                          F
When you look up to the sky
C                          G                          Am              F
And ask why do my favorite songs always make me cry
F
And am I losing

[Chorus]
C              G
My sanity, my sanity
Am                                      F
I’ve nothing to lose, so please let me be
C                                                  G
I’ve got a firm grip and strong roots like a tree
Am                          F
Burrowed deep in reality
C                                                  G
I won’t let you go, what else can there be
Am              F
You’re all I have

[Verse 2]
C                         G
When you swore to be true
Am                          F
Our bed was belief
C                          G
But alternative facts
Am                        F
snuck in like a thief
C                          G
There comes a time
Am                          F
to release the cord of self
C                          G
And with confidence declare your state
Am                          F
of perfect mental health
F
Never doubting

C                          G
My life is a song, a short melody
Am                          F
Harmonizing with reality
C                                      G
I’ve got it real bad, there’s no remedy
Am                                      F
You’re all I have, my dear sanity

My world picture is exemplary
