	Life goes on here
	BbaddE    AaddB
	Day after day
	E           Fmaj7
	I don't know if I am living or if I'm

	I've been here once
	I've been here twice

	The fifth's the fix
	Sometimes I deal with numbers
	And if you wanna count me
	Count me out

Verse 4:

	I don't need the time of day
	Anytime with me's OK
	I just don't want you using up my time
		           [Am]
	'Cause that's not right

	[repeat 3X:]
	         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
