This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

it's like i dressed up in my mama's clothing

it's like i'm talking to a voice that doesn't exist

it's like i got a wire crossed upstairs

but all i want is just a little truth

and that's it

they say i'm mental but i'm just confused

they say i'm mental but i've been abused

they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all

another anchorman is on the t.v.

he's got that far away and vacant look in his eye

i turn the channel but nothing is changing

the only truth is that everything is a lie

they say i'm mental but i'm just confused

they say i'm mental but i've been abused

they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all

there's truth in everything

there's truth in lies

with all this knowledge i think i'm gonna be wise

they say i'm mental but i'm just confused

they say i'm mental but i've been abused

they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all

not at all
