  			             C#5 
All day long  
             A5  
I felt like 
     C#5                    A5           G#5 
Smashing my head through a clear glass window 
            C#5     
But instead 
           A5 
I went out 
        C#5                    A5         G#5 
And smashed up a phone booth around the corner 

C# 

C#                          F# 
I never had the chance to choose my own parents 
C#                        G# 
I never knew why I should be stuck with mine 
C#                    Bb 
Mommy's always trying not to eat 
G#                                      C# 
And Daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze 

C# 

C#                          F 
I never had the chance to choose my own name 
F#                        D# 
I never knew why I should be stuck with mine 
C#                            Bb 
Mommy's always talking about family pride 
G#                             C# 
And Daddy's always hiding from his weekend bride 

             C#5 
All day long  
             A5  
I felt like 
     C#5                    A5           G#5 
Smashing my head through a clear glass window 
            C#5     
But instead 
           A5 
I went out 
        C#5                    A5         G#5 
And smashed up a station wagon around the corner 

C# 

C#                      F# 
I looked in the mirror and told myself 
C#                           G# 
"At least I don't look like them, at least" 
C#                             Bb 
Mommy's like a filmstar in a distorted mirror 
G#                                C# 
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war 

C#                                F 
I went to shake hands with the President in Miami 
F#                            D# 
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger 
C#             G#              Bbm           F# 
You'll never believe it, the surprise of my life 
D#                                          C# 
They had paint on their faces just like my Mommy 

C#                                    G# 
Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy? 
Bbm                                   F# 
Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy? 
C#          G#             Bbm      F# 
Am I plain gone, or is it just the world? 
D#                          F#        C# 
Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy 

Bbm                             F# 
Trying to talk to them is like eating chicken dinner when you're  
 G# 
angry 
Bbm                                 F# 
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream melt when  
        G# 
you're hungry 
Bbm                            G# 
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break 
        F#        Bbm        G#       C# 
But my Mommy and Daddy broke up last fall 

C#                                    G# 
Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy? 
Bbm                                   F# 
Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy? 
C#         G#              Bbm      F# 
Am I plain gone, or is it just the world? 
D#                          F#        C# 
Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy 


             C#5 
All day long  
             A5  
I felt like 
     C#5                    A5           G#5 
Smashing my head through a clear glass window 
            C#5     
But instead 
           A5 
I went out 
        C#5               A5         G#5 
And smashed up a church around the corner
