Intro: G D G D G 

D                      G 
Lithium or lengthy C.B.T.?  
Bm                                     G              Em  G 
I’ll keep taking the pills if you keep giving them to me,  
D                                    G 
And I don’t want to prove you have a heart,  
Bm 
Behind that cold exterior  
      G           Em   G        Em 
cause I’d have no idea where to start.  
                            G 
It’s a long way down to the bottom;  
                             A 
it’s a steep climb up to the top,  
                       Bb                C 
It’s a gamble when you don’t know how to stop, 
D                       G                  Bm 
I keep running from the storm and you have done you’re best,  
   Em               D                    Em            G     D 
To regulate and medicate the dark clouds forming in my brain,  
(D)                  G 
But Mildred drop the act with me,  
   Bm                          Em                          D 
Oh when we get together we can talk it out and then you’ll see,  
                           G 
We all need shelter in the rain,  

D G Bm Em D G 
(G)  D 
It’s nausea and numbness;  
     G 
it’s stiffness and fatigue,  
Bm 
I’ll keep taking the pills,  
              G               Em   G 
why won’t you take a few with me?  
       D                    
When I look into your eyes, 
     G                         Bm 
that icy glare belies a softer side,  
                        G 
But you’re held captive too,  
        Em     G   Em 
we were both lobotomized,  
                            G 
It’s a long way down to the bottom; 
                             A  
it’s a steep climb up to the top,  
                       Bb                C 
It’s a gamble when you don’t know how to stop, 
D                       G                  Bm 
I keep running from the storm and you have done you’re best,  
   Em               D                    Em            G     D 
To regulate and medicate the dark clouds forming in my brain,

We all feel crazy sometimes

It’s a long way down to the bottom,  
                             D 
It’s a tough climb up to the top, 
                       A  
It’s a gamble when you don’t know how to stop,  
            Em 
Or that I'm sure, 
                  G 
We all feel crazy sometimes,  
                       Bb 
And you’re the same as me,  
                        C 
Yeah you’re the same as me,  
                     D                G 
You know that I keep running from the storm, 
             Bm  
And you have done you’re best,  
   Em               D                     Em            G     D

But Mildred drop the act with me,  
   Bm                         Em                    D 
Oh when we get together I can make us both a pot of tea,  
                            Em 
Then we can talk it out and see,  
                         G 
It’s not as simple as it seems,  
                               Bb 
Sometimes it helps to feel the rain.
