I was tripping down my steps when they came into mind

C                                      Em
It couldn't have happened at a more terrible time

G                              Am
So i visited the doctor but he told me I'm fine

G                               Am
Even though my head's on backwards and I make my parents cry

C                                        Em
I think that there's more than just the things that you see and touch

Ghosts are playing tricks on me while I play double dutch

They really seem to like me they're around now all the time

They stole away their social skills they stole their sexual drive

C                                    Em
My friends across the ocean never see things quite the same

C                                    Em
I never understand why they don't call me by my name

G                                 Am
So I got myself a passport thought I gave it a try

G                                 Am
When I approached a turnstile they took me to the side

People that protect me do it in a crazy way

C                             Em
They tell me that the backyard did its thing again today

G                              Am
It's a terrible disaster it's a superfluous crime

G                              Am
It's a horrible calamity that someone's gotta die

Take me from diamond head even though I don't wanna go
