[Verse 1]
F                       C
When the world has gone mad
G                      Am     F
And there's nowhere to roam
                   C     G
The lights are all on
                Am       F
But nobody's home
              C       G
There comes a time
         Am                 F
When you look up to the sky
    C             G
And ask why do my favorite songs
Am               F
Always make me cry?
 
And am I losing
 
 
[Chorus]
        C
My sanity
        G
My sanity?
                Am
I've nothing to lose
                 F
So please let me be
                C
I've got a firm grip
                        G
And strong roots like a tree
         Am      F
Burrowed deep in reality
                  C
I won't let you go
                    G
What else can there be?
             Am     F     C
You're all I have
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                          G
When you swore to be true
            Am        F
Our bed was belief
                C
But alternative facts
G               Am     F
Snuck in like a thief
              C      G
There comes a time
   Am                   F
To release the cord of self
         C          G
And with confidence declare your state of
Am             F
Perfect mental health
 
Never doubting
 
 
[Chorus]
        C
My sanity
        G
My sanity
                Am
I've nothing to lose
                 F
So please let me be
             C
My life is a song
             G
A short melody
       Am              F
Harmonizing with reality
                 C
I've got it real bad
                G
There's no remedy
             Am
You're all I have
F            C
My dear sanity
 
B Bb F
 
 
[Bridge]
C                         G
Sometimes there's no sane reason
           C
For optimism

[Chorus]
F           C
Oh, my sanity
        G
My sanity
                Am
I've nothing to lose
                 F
So please let me be
             C
My life is a song
            G
A short melody
      Am              F
Harmonizing with reality
                    C
I've got it real bad
                  G
There's no remedy
         Am                 F
My world picture is exemplary
                C
I won't let you go
                    G
What else can there be?
                Am   F
You're all I have
            C
My dear sanity
