The only peace you feel is when you're sleeping
/                  Am/                 Dm/
It's hard to really understand the pain
/                 Am/               Dm/
Finally really starting now to see it
/                Am      E7/        Am/
The asylum's bein run by the insane
They Amtry to do their very best to fDmool ya
WheAmn you see the sun they make it rDmain
The imAmportance of it all, it doesn't mDmatter
The asAmylum's bein rE7un by the Dminsane
/    Dm/      /
Criminals run all the world
/                  Am     E7/     Am/
Like it's their own private prison
/     Dm/     /
Been warned forever
/     E7/      /
No one ever listened
The Amonly chance you got is almost wDmasted
EvAmery effort seems to be in vDmain
It's Amhard to make sense of situDmations
When the asAmylum's bein rE7un by the inAmsane
When the asyAmlum's bein rE7un by the inAmsane
