Verse: 1 

D               A       B5           F#m 
Do you have the time to listen to me whine? 
 G                D                 A    A 
About nothing and everything all at once 
D           A 
I am one of those 
    B5       F#m 
Melodramatic fools 
   G            D 
Neurotic to the bone 
               A  A 
No doubt about it 

 
G           A               D      D 
Sometimes I give myself the creeps 
G            A                    D  D 
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me 
   G                A 
It all keeps adding up 
  D         A        F#m 
I think I'm cracking up 
   G          A 
Am I just paranoid? 
             D 
Or am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink

To analyze my dreams

She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down 
  D         A 
I went to a whore 
   B5               F#m 
He said my life's a bore 
   G                D                       A    A 
So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps 
G            A                    D    D 
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me 
   G                A 
It all keeps adding up 
  D         A        F#m 
I think I'm cracking up 
   G          A 
Am I just paranoid?

I'm just stoned

So I better hold on
