[Verse 1]
==========
 
 G               D        Em          Bm
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
  C                  G               D
About nothing and everything all at once
G             D
I am one of those
   Em          Bm
Melodramatic fools
   C             G
Neurotic to the bone
                  D
No doubt about it
-------------------------
 
 
-------------------------
[Chorus]
======
   C         D                G
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
   C         D                    G
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
    C               D
It all keeps adding up
    G         F      Em
I think I'm cracking up
   C           D
Am I just paranoid? 
  (No chords)
I'm just stoned

[Verse 2]
=========
   G         D
I went to a shrink
     Em        Bm
To analyze my dreams
     C                 G                    D
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me__ down
   G         D
I went to a whore
    Em               Bm
He said my life's a bore
     C                G                    D
And quit my whining cause it's bringing her__ down
--------------------------
 
 
-------------------------
[Chorus]
======
   C         D                G
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
   C         D                    G
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
    C               D
It all keeps adding up
    G         F      E(m)
I think I'm cracking up
   C           D
Am I just paranoid? 
  (No chords)
Ee Ya ya ya.
