(Tune down 1/2 step)
          E                         B          C#m             G#
          Do you have the time to listen to me whine
            A                           E                         B
          About nothing and everything all at once
          I am one of those melodramatic fools
          Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it
                       A                      B                        E
                          Sometimes I give myself the creeps
                       A                         B                                E
                          Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
                              A                         B     E              D           C#m
                          It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking up
                                A               B                           E           B C#m B   E   B C#m B
                          Am I just paranoid, or am I just stoned?

          I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
          She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
          I went to a whore, he said my life's a bore
          So quit my whining 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, or am I just stoned?
                                          A                       B  (no chord)
                                          Grasping to control, so you better hold on...
                                                           *Interlude*    E B C#m G# A E B (x2)

                          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, or am I just stoned?
                                             *Outro*   E C#m A E B (x4)   A E B
