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  Esus4  E ;  B  Esus4  Esus4  E
       You better stop,


                           (RIFF 2)
                       E ------------------------|  *NOTE: strike the note on
              A        B ------------------------|         the 5th fret first,
       Look around,    G ---------7--5-----------|         then place finger
                       D --*5--7-----------------|         on the 7th fret
                       A ------------------------|         without striking.
                       E ------------------------|

                 E
       Here it comes, here it comes,
                 A
       Here it comes, here it comes.
              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.


CHORUS:


BREAK:
       B                         E
       Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane.
              A
       Well nothing I do don't seem to work,
           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:


FIRST GUITAR: start with (RIFF 3) -- 3x's

                           (RIFF 3)
