From the album "What Ain't To Be, Just Might Happen" (1972) Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/0NfHGyTUjpGVattPs9K9xE?si=ab6a5d190901490c [Intro] | F | Dm | G | G | | Am | Am | Am | Am | [Verse 1]
Am                                     G
 In a buildin' tall with a stone wall around

          Am
There's a rubber room

       Am
When a man sees things and hears sounds that's not there

     G              Am
He's headed for the rubber room
[Verse 2]
  Am
Illusions in a twisted mind to save from self-destruction

G             Am
Hmm, it's the rubber room

        Am                                                                  F
Where a man can run into the wall till his strength makes him fall and lie still

             G           Am
And wait for help in the rubber room
[Refrain]
         Am               F
From his blurry vision of doom

  G             Am
A psycho in the rubber room
[Verse 3]
    Am                                                                  G
The man in the room right next to mine screams a woman's name, hits the wall in vain

            Am
He's in the rubber room

       Am
I hear footsteps poundin' on the floor, God, I hope they don't stop at my door

G                Am
 Hmm, I'm in the rubber room

Am
Now they've come to get me, but they find

       Am                                        G
I'm a-screamin' pretty words, tryin' to make 'em rhyme

           Am
I'm in the rubber room
[Refrain]
F      G
Hmm, a psycho

           Am
I'm in the rubber room
[Outro]
Am
Doom, doom, doom, zoom, broom, doom

Am
Zoom, broom, boom, doom, the rubber room

    Am
The rubber room, broom

Am
Boom, doom

    Am
The rubber room
