[Verse 1]
E You're the kind of person you meet At certain dismal dull affairs.
A Center of a crowd, talking much too loud
E Running up and down the stairs.
A Well it seems to me that you have seen Too much in too few years.
E And though you've tried you just can't hide Your eyes are edged with tears. [Chorus]
B Esus4 You better stop,
Esus4 E ; B Esus4 Esus4 E

E Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown. [Verse 2] When you were a child you were treated kind But you were never brought up right. You were always spoiled with a thousand toys But still you cried all night. Your mother who neglected you Owes a million dollar tax. And your father's still perfecting ways Of making ceiling wax.

B It only seems to make matters worse.
E Oh please. [Verse 3] You were still in school when you had that fool Who really messed your mind. And after that you turned your back On treating people kind. On our first trip I tried so hard To rearrange your mind. But after a while I realized You were disarranging mine. [Chorus]
