The Kinks - Destroyer chords
Start Jamming...
Man, I got Pablo Latin, I took him back to my place
Feeling giggly, feeling scared, hitting cameras everywhere
Stop!
Hold on, stay in [G] control
Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd [A] like to be
Cause every [C] night, I'm in my bed
[A] [F#] I never [Em] met a yellow man in my [A] head
I never checked [G] the [C] inside of [A] me
And she's stopping [G] me, touching [A] me, watching me [E] Loving me
[D] Paranoia, [Em] she's a destroyer
[C] [A] [Em] [A] Paranoia, they destroyer
[G] [C] [A] [G] [C] [A]
[Em] Well, I fell asleep then I woke, feeling kinda queer
Laura looks at me and says, ooh, you look so weird
She said, [Am] man, there's really something wrong with you
One day you're gonna self [A]-destruct
If you're [G] up, get [C] down, I'll [A] come up out
You get a [Em] good thing going, then you'll [A] blow yourself [E] out
Sitting [B] for you, [D] self [Am] [C]-destroyer
[A] [E] Sitting for you, [A] self [G]-destroyer
[C] Living for you, [D] got so much to live [C] for
So much to gain [D] for, so much to try [C] for
We're blowing all [D] with paranoia
[Em] It's so insecure, [F] you self -destroyer
[E] [A] [D]
[A] [G] And it [C] comes down to this, here it goes
[E] [A] Paranoia, they destroyer

[E] [D] Paranoia, [A] they [G] destroyer
[C] [A] [G] [Am]
[D] [Am] Doctor, [G] [D]
[A] doctor, help me please, I know you understand
There's a kind of [C] virus inside of me, I'm a self [A]-destructing man
There's a red [Em] under [C] my bed
[A] I met a [Em] little green [C] man in my [A] head
Said, you're [G] not going crazy, you're [A] just a sad
Cause that's a [G] maddening, [Am] annoying, tiring, [E] empty
Sitting [A] for you, self-destroyer
[Dm] [Am]
[E] [D] Paranoia, [A] they [G] destroyer
[Am] [C] Self-destroyer, [D] wreck your health
[C] Destroy your friends, [D] destroy yourself
