  			         D 
They've called the doctors 
Gm 
Today's the day 
     D  
I've lost it finally 
            A  
And they're putting me away 
    D 
I’m sure I won’t be quite the same 
Gm 
So before I go 
  D           A             D    A 
I wanted oh I wanted you to know 

D                           A 
That a million men in their bright white jackets  
Em                    A 
Could never erase you from my mind 
    D 
But when they bring me back to you 
    A 
And tell you that I’m shiny new 
    Em 
The girl that you see 
           Gm                   D  
May not be me behind these eyes anymore 

D 
I’ve never loved another  
        Gm 
As I’ve loved you and do still  
      D 
But I wonder when they’re through with me 
  A 
I wonder if I will  
   D 
So remember things I’ve said to you  
    Gm 
And say them back to me  
    D             A                 D  A 
And maybe you can rescue me from lunacy 

        D                    A 
And let million men in their bright white jackets  
Em                A 
Try and erase you from my mind  
    D 
But when they bring me back to you  
    A 
And tell you that I’m shiny new  
    Em 
The girl that you see  
           Gm                   D 
May not be me behind these eyes anymore 

           Gm 
Oh they’re making me  

They’re making me  
Dm 
Take these awful pills  
A 
Assuring me they’re curing me  
   Dm 
Of all my evil ills  
                 Gm 
They say they’re saving me  

They’re saving me 
Dm 
So they’ll have me think  
      A 
I was fine before they got to me  

But now I’m on the brink  
            Dm   Gm A 
Of utter madness 

         D 
They've called the doctors 
Gm 
Today's the day 
     D  
I've lost it finally 
            A  
And they're throwing me away 
     D 
They tried to steal my thoughts  
            Gm 
And all my memories of you  
      D 
But I clung tight to them  
A                D    A 
Because I always knew 


D                           A 
That a million men in their bright white jackets  
Em                    A 
Could never erase you from my mind 
    D 
But when they bring me back to you 
    A 
And tell you that I’m shiny new 
    Em                           Gm  D  A  Em  Gm  D 
The girl that you see may not be me
