Verse:
Am
Every pupil in the classroom
F C
Will answer this song if you ask them
G D A Asus4 A
Every mouth shout the message out as one
Am
Every girl weeps like a willow
F C
Every boy cries into his pillow
G D A Asus4 A
Every tear disappears in the morning sun
Am Em
You don't need an indie song
Dm G
To figure out what's going on
Chorus:
C C7
Tell me that I'm normal
F C
And tell me that I'm sane
C7 F Dm7
And tell me that you feel this too
C C7
The dreams that we have had
F Dm
Are gonna prove that we're not mad
Am C Em Dm G Am Dm Em A
To you...

Am
Every nose is a vacuum cleaner
F C
In the loved-up London arena
G D A Asus4 A
Every eye shines a dollar sign for me
Am
Every tongue will wag if you want it
F C
Every lung has a shadow on it
G D A Asus4 A
Every heart comes apart at the seams
Am Em
You don't need a mastermind
Dm G
To read between the long white lines
C C7
Tell me that I'm normal
F C
And tell me that I'm sane
C7 F Dm7
And tell me that you feel this too
C C7
The dreams that we have had
F Dm
Are gonna prove that we're not mad
Am C Em Dm G Am Dm Em A
To you...
Am
Well we all need reassurance
F C
As we play life's game of endurance
G D A Asus4 A
Like a nice cup of tea or a cigarette
Am
But don't lean too long on the crutches
F C
Or you'll fall straight into the clutches
G D A Asus4 A
Of those who see free expression as a threat
Am Em
You don't need a law degree
Dm G
To set your mind and spirit free so tell me...
C C7
What the hell is normal?
F C
And who the hell is sane?
C7 F Dm7
And why the hell care anyway?
C C7
The dreams that we have had
F Dm
Are gonna prove that we're all mad
Am C Em Dm G Am Dm Em A
And that's okay...
