They never turn the cameras on

And it's always one step ahead of you

In the presence of a licensee

D6            D   D6 Dmaj7 D6
This hallucination
D6                   D     D6 Dmaj7 D6
The cathedral in the prison
D6                      Em7    Em6 Em7
Where the dreams of the citizen
Em7                       Gm
Can only tell you what is wrong with them


Verse:
D6        D D6 Dmaj7 D6
Forgetting
D6                  D     D6 Dmaj7 D6
The engine of civilization
D6             Em7    Em6 Em7
Coffee and a cigarette
Em7                      Gm
Found no better means of revolt yet


Chorus:
Em

A less pathetic cry for help
Em
Mental health
Gm
Mental health
D                 Edim   F#dim
There's no higher virtue held
D             Dmaj7
In this crazy world
Dmaj7                   D6        Gm
It's more than a little bit absurd

Verse:
D6        D  D6 Dmaj7 D6
Oh, insanity
D6              D       D6 Dmaj7 D6
Babe, it's indispensable
D6                    Em7     Em6 Em7
For the true endeavor of your soul
Em7                        Gm
To find the edge and baby, go, go, go


Verse:
D6          D D6 Dmaj7 D6
Oh, magic child
D6              D              D6 Dmaj7 D6
Run, baby, run, baby, run baby run
D6                           Em7    Em6 Em7
The one regret that's really pretty tough
Em7                           Gm
Is knowing I didn't go nearly far enough


Verse:
D6        D D6 Dmaj7 D6
Oh, magic child
D6                    D     D6 Dmaj7 D6
This dream we're born inside
D6                   Em7  Em6 Em7
Feels awful real sometimes
Em7                      Gm
But it's all in your mind
