Don't try and understand me, you never could do that.

Ahhhh, and in the end you'd wind up being hurt.
      Em                Bm                 C

my brain.

but there's no one perfect in this universe.

And though you think I'm weird, don't try and change

       Em              Bm                    C
Hear a howling wind outside my door, there's restlessness 
    G
within.
        Em                     Bm          Am7   D7
Oh, I'm like a rain cloud that one day may burst.
   Em                Bm             C                   G

#4.
    Em            Bm       C                G
And if you think about me, in your lonesome hours..
           Em                     Bm
aahhh, and on your lips there's a sweet word and not a
Am7   D7
curse.

Aahhhh, then I'll be comin' back one day, when my wandering
   G   C
is over.
