Intro: Em Em Em Em Em
       Em C  D  A  G
       Em C  D  A  G
       Em C  D  A  G

Em                C
Welcome to where time stands still
 D                 A      G
No one leaves and no one will
 E                   C
Moon is full, never seems to change
      D              A    G
Just labelled mentally deranged
  Em                 C
Dream the same thing every night
   D              A      G
I see our freedom in my sight
 Em                  C
No locked doors, no windows barred
     D                 A          G
No things to make my brain seem scarred
  Em                   C
Sleep, my friend, and you will see
       D           A   G
That dream is my reality
      Em               C
They keep me locked up in this cage
            D                A          G Em Em
Can't they see it's why my brain says "ra-a-age"?

Chorus:
B    B G Em    Em  B
    Sanitarium
 C     G  Em  Em
Leave me be
B    B G Em    Em
    Sanitarium
B                     B
  Just leave me alone

Em C  D  A  G
Em C  D  A  G

 Em                C
Build my fear of what's out there
 D                 A    G
Cannot breathe the open air
 Em               C
Whisper things into my brain
   D             A      G
Assuring me that I'm insane
       Em                C
They think our heads are in their hands
     D                   A       G
But violent use brings violent plans
 Em                C
Keep him tied, it makes him well
      D               A         G
He's getting better, can't you tell?
 Em               C
No more can they keep us in
 D                A       G
Listen, damn it, we will win
      Em                 C
They see it right, they see it well
           D                   A       G Em Em
But they think this saves us from our hell

Chorus:
B    B G Em    Em  B
    Sanitarium
 C     G  Em  Em
Leave me be
B    B G Em    Em
    Sanitarium
B                     B    Em
  Just leave me alone

Em   B       A       Em
        Sanitarium
(Just leave me alone)

Em Em Em Em Em

Em               D
Fear of living on
                 Fm
Natives getting restless now
              C
Mutiny in the air
 B                 Em
Got some death to do
 Em                 D
Mirror stares back hard
 D                  Fm
Kill, it's such a friendly word
                C
Seems the only way
     B             Em
For reaching out again
