[Eb] Do [Bb] you have the time [C] to listen to [G] me whine?
[Ab] About [Eb] nothing and everything all at [Bb] once?
[Eb] I am [Bb] one of those [Cm] [Gm] melodramatic fools
[Ab] [Eb] Neurotic to the bone, no doubt [Bb] about it
[Eb] [Bb] Sometimes I give [Eb] myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps [Bb] adding up, [Eb] I [Ab] think I'm [Cm] cracking up
[Eb] Am I just [Bb] paranoid, [Eb] have I just stopped?
I went to [Bb] a shrink [Cm] to analyze [Gm] my dreams
[Ab] She says it's [Eb] lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to [Bb] a whore, [Cm] she said my [Gm] life's a bore
[Ab] She'll quit my [Eb] wedding cause it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
[Ab] Grasping to [Bb] control, [Eb] so I better hold [Bb] on
