[Cm]
[C] [Cm]
Cracking up, I'm getting ready to go Had enough, I can't take anymore
No pills, that's I can take This is too real, [C] and there'd be no [Bb] escape
It's near the daylight, it'd make a [C] nightmare I'm tense [Cm]
[C] and I'm [Bb] nervous
Everybody all around me [Cm] Shaking hands [C] and saying [Eb] howdy
I [Bb] don't think [F] it's funny no [C] more
Cracking up, like a worn out shoe Ain't wet, [Cm] but the world leaking [C] through
I'd run, but I'd find no pace I'd laugh, but it's wrecking me, [Bb] wrecking me
It'd make a shiver, it'd make a shake [C] It'd make [Eb] a monster, [C] just like an [Bb] earthquake
Everybody having fun [C] I don't know how [Eb] they can [C] carry on
[Eb] But I [Bb] don't think [F] it's funny no [C] more
[Cm]
[Gm] [C]
[Cm] [C]
[Bb] A dead of night time, a crack of dawn [C] It comes upon me without [Bb] warning
If I were gone then I would [C] shoot I'd never [Cm] head [C] out by the [Bb] roots
I'd make a knife out of an [C] ocean I'd see an ocean of [Eb] emotion
I [Bb] don't think [F] it's funny no more
[C]
[Eb] [Bb] [F]
[C] Cracking up
