"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

(Intro)
Em C G D (x2)
(Verse 1)
Em C
A silver plated numbing gum
G D
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)
Em C
I cry I cry and I don't know why
G D
The fever becomes my home
Em C
I cry I cry and I don't know why
G D
The fever becomes my home
Em
Becomes my home
Em C G D
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...
Schizophrenia
(Repeat chorus twice and fade out)
