[Verse 1]
D G
While I was watching this talk show the other day
D G
And on it there was this guy
D G
And he was saying "When you let other people tell you what's right
D G
when you leave your instinct and your own truth behind he said
D G
that's a virus of the mind,
D G
that's a virus of the mind"
D G
Well I guess it's kinda like loosing your sight
D G
For a second you think that they might be right
D G
And it feeds the doubts that you have inside
D G
It almost starts to feels like a crime
D G
To follow your own rhythm and rhyme

[Verse 2]
D G
Well I went to this party thing last night
D G
A lot of people I hadn't seen in a long long time
D G
And they wanted to know about my life
D G
But making me feel like it wasn't quite right
D G
Like "Where's is your kids?" and "Where is you car?"
D G
I said "I don't have either but I have a guitar"
D G
And I ended up feeling like I was a freak
D G
So I found some wine and something to eat
D G
I talked to the dog to pass the time
D G
I told myself "I'm doing just fine"
D G
It's just a virus of the mind
D G
It's just a virus of the mind

[Verse 3]
D G
It's in the deep of your soul, it's on the tip of your tongue
D G
It's the feeling you get, when you feel young
D G
It's in the sound of a beat, it's in the base of your spine
D G
It's in your gut reaction, yeah every time
D G
But they tell you what you should have, they tell you who you should be
D G
It's in the pictures and ads and in the magazines
D G
I'm kicking it off like a bug in the breeze
D G
Cause is anyone out there inside me
D G
I say "Is anyone out there inside me?"
D G
I say "Is anyone?"
Em A
