[G] [Am] [E]
[D] My analyst told me that I was right [Ab] out of my head, the way he described it.
[D] He said I'd be better [G] dead than alive.
I didn't listen to his [D] jive.
I knew all along that he [B] was all [E] wrong, and I knew that he thought [A] I was [D] crazy, but I'm not.
So my analyst told me that I was right [E] out of my head.
He said I'd need treatment, [D] but I'm not that easily led.
He said I was the [G] type that was most inclined, [A] when out of his sight, to be [B] out of my mind.
And he thought I was [A] nuts.
No more [C] ifs, or ands, or buts.
[E]
[D] Say, as a child I appeared [Bb] a little bit wild with all my crazy [B] ideas, but I knew what was [G] happening.
I knew I was a genius.
[D] What's so [B] strange when you know that you're a wizard at three?
[A] I knew that [Bm] this was meant to be.
Now [D] I heard little children were supposed [Bb] to sleep tight.
That's why I'd [G] gotten through the vodka one night.
My parents got [C] frantic, didn't know what to do.
[D] But I saw some crazy scenes [B] before I came to.
[Em] Now do you think I was [A] crazy?
I may have been [D] only three, but I was swinging.
They all loved that angry young man.
[A] They all loved that Edison, and also that Einstein.
So why should I feel sorry if they [D] just couldn't understand the idiomatic logic that went on in my head?
I [B] had a brain that was in, [A] and I refused to ride on all those double-decker buses, all because there was no [D] driver on the car.
There was no driver on the car?
[Abm] Man, the chick is twisted, crazy, [Gb] oog-shuby, and he has lip [D] city.
My analyst told me [G] that I was right out of my head.
[A] But I said, dear doctor, I think that it's [B] you instead.
Because I have got a [G] thing that's unique and new, [Bm] to prove that I'll [Gbm] have the last laugh on you.
[E] Because [A] instead of one head, [C] I got [N] two.
And you know two heads are better than one.
[D] [Dm] [Bb]
