[Verse 1]
Bm
Oh, she's a mess
        A
And she always oversleeps
    E
Her body's full of stress
She can't take it anymore
Bm                       A
Oh, she's a mess and her jokes are getting cheap
          E
She's not funny anymore
                    Bm
Teacher didn't understand her
A                   E
And she never understood
                    Bm
Folks tried to reprehend her
A                   E
But it didn't do no good
