IN MY HEAD
Simmons, Van Zen, St. James
[Intro: Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]
[Rhy. fig 2]
[Rhy. fig 3a]
I'm obnoxious and no one's home
In my head
In my head
[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
Cardboard boxes filled with hate
In my head
They're in my head
Nest of termites, glowin' red
In my head
They're in my head
[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]
Look behind the mask
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
Just look behind the man
And lead me by the hand
[Rhy. fig 5]
[Rhy. fig 3a]
Faded smiles behind dark shades
In my head
In my head
[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
Plastic icons, glowin' red
In my head
They're in my head
I experiment with myself
In my head
In my head
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
Look behind the glass
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
[Rhy. fig 6 with Riff 1 at bar 6]
Just look behind the man
And lead me
Aaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaa
Aaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaa
[Solo over Rhy. fig 2a]
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
Look behind the glass
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me
[Rhy. fig 4a with Solo 2]
[Rhy. fig 7a and 7b]
Look behind the man
Look behind the glass
Look behind the mask
