  			     E                   A          E 
   Looked in my laptop, what did I see? 
      E                     A          E 
   A flashin' message says today therapy 
      E                             A             E 
   Rather walk through fire than converse with my shrink 
     C              G                   D                B 
   But I'm getting better that's what some people think 
 
     E                      A          E 
   Talk about denial and dysfunctional things 
     E                   A          E 
   Head's like a bell somedays it dongs and it dings 
     E                             A             E 
   My brain play tricks on me it likes to shift gears 
    C              G                         D     
   Spend lots of money, but I'm tacklin' my fears 
 
   
     G        C                     G 
   Vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost 
      C            G           D             G 
   These are the things that terrify me the most 
     G         C                   G 
   No aliens, psychopaths or MTV hosts 
                  C         G               D    G 
   Scare me like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost 
   Ooohh 
 
   Had a dream last night took a time travellin' ride 
   Back to my childhood where those monsters reside 
   They snack on innocence and dine on self-esteem 
   But I like to be in touch with what makes me scream 
 
   Chorus: 
 
   C      Bm         Am        C      Bm              Am 
   I was never ever frightened by the murderer on our block 
    C          Bm                 Am  
   He nurtured orchids and raised hamsters 
          G             D              D7 
   The neighborhood is still in shock 
 
    G          C           G 
   La la la la, la la la la 
   C            G     D        G 
   La la la la, la la la la la la 
 
   So many dragons lurking out in the fog 
   So many crazy people mumblin' monologues 
   It's not the tales of Stephen King that I've read 
   I need protection from the things in my head like 
 
   Chorus:
