[Intro]

        Cmaj7   Am   G   F#7       F  F#
        / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

[Verse 1]

        C            Am  G  F#7
        Sitting on a hillside
                          F F#   D
        Watching all the people die
              G         C             E     A
        I'll feel much better on the other side
                    Am       G  F#7   F  F#
        I'll bum a ride

[Verse 2/3]

        C           Am G F#7
        I believe in magic
                        F  F# D
        Why, because it is so quick
          G          C              E    A
        I don't need power when I'm hypnotized
                    Am    G
        Look in my eyes
        F#7                  F  F#
        What are you seeing (I see...)
                     D
        How do you feel?
               (...you)
           G         C             E       A
        I feel real phony when my name is Phil
                     Am      G  F#7   F   F#
        Or was that Bill?

[Bridge]

        Bbadd#11      Aadd9       (x2)
        /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /

        Bbadd#11     Aadd9
        Life goes on here
        Bbadd#11  Aadd9
        Day after day
        E           Fmaj7
        I don't know if I am living or if I'm
        C           E
        Supposed to be
        D                        C
        Sometimes my life is so eerie
        D
        And if you think I'm happy
        C    G/B    A
        Paint me (white)
                 (yellow)

        Bbadd#11      Aadd9       (x2)
        /  /  /  /    /  /  /  /
        
        Bbadd#11       Aadd9
        I've been here once
        Bbadd#11       Aadd9
        I've been here twice
        E                   Fmaj7
        I don't know if the third's the fourth or if
        C               E
        The fifth's the fix
        D                           C
        Sometimes I deal with numbers
        D
        And if you wanna count me
        C    G/B A
        Count me out

[Verse 4]
        
        C                Am   G  F#7
        I don't need the time of day
                     F   F# D
        Anytime with me's OK
          G          C              E     A
        I just don't want you using up my time
                           (Am)
        'Cause that's not right

[Coda]

        (Repeat x3)
        Am                A
        / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
                          ahh....

        (Repeat x3)
                 Am
        They're locking them up today
        They're throwing away the key
          A
        I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me?

        Am
        We're all normal and we want our freedom
        A
        Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom
        Am                                A
        Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom

        [continue with Am-A progression to fade]

        (spoken:) Alla God's chilluns gotta have dere freedom
