Intro
| F | Dm | G | G |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
Verse 1
[Am] In a buildin' tall with a stone wall [G]around
There's a [Am]rubber room
When a [Am]man sees things and hears sounds that's not there
He's [G]headed for the [Am]rubber room
Verse 2
[Am]Illusions in a twisted mind to save from self-destruction
[G]Hmm, it's the [Am]rubber room
Where a [Am]man can run into the wall till his strength makes him fall and lie
[F]still
And wait for [G]help in the [Am]rubber room
Refrain
From his [Am]blurry vision of [F]doom
A [G]psycho in the [Am]rubber room
Verse 3
The [Am]man in the room right next to mine screams a woman's name, hits the
[G]wall in vain
He's in the [Am]rubber room
I hear [Am]footsteps poundin' on the floor, God, I hope they don't stop at my
door
[G] Hmm, I'm in the [Am]rubber room
[Am]Now they've come to get me, but they find
I'm [Am]a-screamin' pretty words, tryin' to make 'em [G]rhyme
I'm in the [Am]rubber room
Refrain
[F]Hmm, a [G]psycho
I'm in the [Am]rubber room
Outro
[Am]Doom, doom, doom, zoom, broom, doom
[Am]Zoom, broom, boom, doom, the rubber room
The [Am]rubber room, broom
[Am]Boom, doom
The [Am]rubber room
