  			C    G    F 
Hey! 
C    G    F 
Hey! 
F                       C * 
Spreading rumors in the hallways, like telephone, 
C * 
Watered down with white noise, overblown, 
C *                 Am         G    F 
Are they ever gonna just leave us alone? 
F                      C * 
Take a look at all the white coats in the room, 
C * 
Staring at us sideways, like we’re Benny and Joon, 
C *     Am       G       D7/F# 
Yeah we saw that movie, too. 

F                 G           Am      C * 
We know what they don’t know, o-o-o-o-o-oh, 
F                G          Am      C * 
We see what they can’t see, o-o-o-o-o-oh. 
F              G 
They say we’re crazy 
Am         C *          F 
I say well maybe that’s true, 
F                  G 
But we know who we are now, 
G              C           G     F 
Just leave us alone. Hey! 
F             C           G     F 
Just leave us alone. Hey! 

F                       C * 
When I met you from the voices in my head, 
C * 
It felt like a reaction from all the meds. 
C *   Am         G      F 
Now I don’t feel that depressed. 
F                    C * 
Well now they got me strapped down in the chair, 
C * 
But as long as you’re beside me, babe, I don’t care. 
C *                      Am     G          D7/F# 
Well I guess it’s been a really fucked-up year. 

        F                 G           Am      C * 
No, No, we know what they don’t know, o-o-o-o-o-oh, 
F                G          Am      C * 
We see what they can’t see, o-o-o-o-o-oh. 
F              G   
They say we’re crazy 
Am         C *          F 
Okay, well maybe that’s true, 
F                  G           Am       C *     F 
But we know who we are now, in spite of all the flaws, 
F                   G       Am   C *      F 
In spite of all the poison, chemicals and all. 
F              G    Am  C * F              G  
We know who we are nooooow, we know who we are now. 
               C          G    F 
just leave us alone. Hey! 
F               C          G    F 
Just leave us alone. Hey!

               C          G   F
