album version - MENTAL ILLNESS ________________________________ ________________________________ [INTRO] C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G [VERSE ONE]
            C#m7b5     Cmaj7     G       Em
It's always locusts or floods or drought

              Cmaj7      G
And then it's parties or prayer

   C#m7b5              Cmaj7    G  Em
He picks a girl he can live without

             Cmaj7     G
And puts her down over there
[CHORUS]
       Em                 Am7             G       D
Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't feel anymore

       Em            Am7            G              D
Philly drinks and he drinks all the drunks hit the floor

       Em                A7           Em              
Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down

        A7          Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown
[VERSE ONE]
       C#m7b5       Cmaj7   G   Em
Congratulations you hit the mark

            Cmaj7       G
You got the bird on the wing

        C#m7b5  C           G
The animatronic bloodhounds bark

Em            Cmaj7        G
  The wind up mockingbirds sing
[CHORUS]
       Em                 Am7              G       D
Philly thinks and when he thinks you can't feel anymore

       Em                 Am7          G          D
Philly drinks at least he did when you knew him before

       Em                 A7         Em
Philly sinks, but now the glass is a girl

            A7        Cmaj7 G F Am G
And now the girl is a frown
[BRIDGE]
Em                        A
  But you can put in your orb

                       C 
What you're hoping for more

         G             F               C        Em
Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around

                       A                             C
And if the rowing gets dull just knock a hole in the hull

            G     F           C   G Em G Em G Cmaj7 G
And let the ocean swallow you down
[CHORUS]
       Em                 Am7             G       D
Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't swim anymore

       Em               Am7         G            D
Philly drinks until the tide pulls away from the shore

       Em                A7           Em
Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down

        A7          Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown
