Lyrics:

D#5             A#5     C5            G5
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
G#5               D#5               A#5
about nothing and everything all at once
D#5         A#5       C5        G5
i am one of those melodramatic fools
  G#5            D#6                 A#5 
neurotic to the bone no doubt about it


Refrain:
G#5          A#5             D#5
sometimes i give myself the creeps
G#5          A#5                  D#5
sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
G#5                 A#5    D#5      C#5      C5
it all keeps adding up, i think i'm cracking up
   G#5        A#5
am i just paranoid? i'm just stoned


D#5          A#5         C5        G5
i went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
    G#5               D#5                    A#5
she says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
D#5          A#5      C5                G5
i went to a whore, he said my life's a bore
    G#5              D#5                     A#5
so quit my whining cause it's bringing her down

--Bridge-- 4x

G#5               A#5                       D#5    C5
grasping to controooooool, so you better hooooold on  .....
