(Verse) 
 
Em       C  
  Am I insane? 
             Am 
  I ask myself over and over and over again 
Em      C  
  Am I alone? 
                Am 
  Surrounded by sin I think it might just be the end 
Em       C  
  Am I insane? 
       Am   
  Am I insane? 
       C 
  Am I insane? 
Em      C 
  Am I alone? 
                Am 
  Surrounded by sin I think 
                       Em 
  It might just be the end 
 
 
 
C          Am              Em 
  I won't let you be the death of me 
  G               C       Am         Em 
  No, I refuse to let you bring me down 
  G 
  Bring me down 
C          Am              Em 
  I won't let you make me out to be 
  G                     C   
  The one who's in the wrong 
           Am              Em 
  And I've lost my mind before 
                           G 
  But now I'm back and I'm better than ever 
 
  C Am Em G (x2) 
 
 
(Verse) 
Em          C                  Am 
  The devil came to take me to hell 
   
  But I'm already there 
Em                C                Am 
  The voices grow fainter but they won't go away 
Em       C  
  Am I insane? 
       Am   
  Am I insane? 
       C 
  Am I insane? 
Em      C 
  Am I alone? 
                Am 
  Surrounded by sin I think 
                       Em 
  It might just be the end

  The one who's in the wrong 
           Am              Em 
  And I've lost my mind before

(Bridge) 
 
      Em                Bm 
  The tears have left a blur 
         C 
  That I can't explain 
      Em              Bm 
  The pain has left a hole 
              C 
  In which my heart should have been 
       
      Em 
  I'm blind with rage 
      Bm 
  And I can't shake this feeling 
  C                             Am 
  Irrational, Infectious, Intemperate 
      Em 
  I'm blind with rage 
      Bm 
  And I can't shake this feeling 
    C                           Am   G 
  Irrational, Infectious, Intemperate 
 
 
 
Em                        Bm 
  I won't let you be the death of me 
              C                Am 
  I refuse to let you bring me down 
  G 
  Bring me down 
Em                        Bm 
  I won't let you make me out to be 
                       C 
  The one who's in the wrong 
                         Am 
  And I've lost my mind before 
                                           Em 
  But now I'm back and I'm better than ever
