G
Nervous tension, man's invention,
                                      C
Is the biggest killer that's around today 

Let the tension out or it will build and build inside
                         G
And strike you down some day 

Nervous tension, man's invention 
                                  C
Is the biggest waste of human energy 

Let the tension out, or it will surely kill
                        G
And that will be a tragedy 


D
Valium helps you for a while
                            C
But somehow valium seems to bring me down 
        D
There's no pill I can recommend where side effects 
                     C                  D
Aren't guaranteed to send you round the bend 


          G
You gotta let out the tension 
       C                 G
With a little bit of exercise 

Loosen up your muscles 
             C                    G 
And feel the knots in your body untie 


We oh we oh 
G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 
G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 


G
It sure beats quaaludes 
                     G
It sure beats cocaine 

Even Freud recommends it 
         C                G
Cos it relieves the strain 



Altogether now
G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 


C
Some people say it sends you deaf 
D
Some people say it sends you blind 
E
Some people say it makes you old 
F                             G   
some people say it blows your mind 



But I say 
G             
If it's good for your health 
     C                 G
It's good for your mind 
           
If it keeps you together 
     C               G 
It's really all right 


We oh we oh
 

Oh c'mon, kick the cat 
G                    C                           G
Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health 
G           C                              G
Oh oh oh oh Blame it on the national health 


C                                 
Nervous tension, nervous tension,
D
nervous tension,nervous tension
E                               F
nervous tension, nervous tension.
G
