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)
EmA siClver plated numbing gum
GAnd jeDsus 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) 
EmI cCry I cry and I don't know why 
The Gfever beDcomes my home
EmI cry I Ccry and I don't know why 
The Gfever beDcomes my home 
EmBecomes my home
EmBecomeCs myyyyGyyyyyyDyyy 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)

(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

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...
