capo 1 — sounds a semitone higher

Verse 1

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
All at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Chorus

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?
(D*)
Am I just stoned?

Riff

D* A* Bm* A*
D* A* Bm* A*

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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?
(D*)
Uh, yuh, yuh, ya

Riff

D* A* Bm* A*
D* A* Bm* A*
D* A* Bm* A*
D* A* Bm* A*

Bridge

Grasping to control
N.C. D
So I better hold on

Chorus

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
