It's good to know, that it's happening to you, 
I don't mind, as long as someone else is too,

Catch some Opra, it never lets you get away, 
Losing your mind, 
Losing your - 
 
G C D G C D G C A G 
 
It's good to know, that it's taken over you, 
Bla bla zombies, bla bla on the tube (NFI about the words)

Hit the volume, well sit and watch it anyway, 
Losing your mind, 
Losing your -

Play riff #1 (other guitar G C D x 3, then finish on G) 
 
It's good to know, youre a couch potato too, 
Lets get married, call our first born Hannah Hugh (?) 
 
My parents tell me, about the days before TV, 
I'm so happy, I've had the opportunity, 
To lose my mind, 
Losing your - 
 
G C D x 4 
Play riff #1 twice (or just G C D) 
Finish by chugging that main bass riff again.
