Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
 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?
  (*)
 Am I just stoned?
* * * *  x2
 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?
  (*)
 Uh, yuh, yuh, ya
* * * *  x4
Grasping  to control
So  I better hold  on
 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?
 Am I just stoned?
 x 4
