 E5
A mental shakedown (guitar fill)
         A5                              E5
I see my hands how they shiver, See my knees how they quiver
          A5                                B5
My whole body's in a jitter, I'm a havin' a nervous breakdown

Verse:
       E5
Well, I went to see my doctor just the other day (guitar fill)
    E5
And I'm got to tell you what the man had to say (guitar fill)

        A5
Well, he said, "Hey boy, you just gotta slow down
   E5
You can't keep a traipsin' all over town
    A5
After givin' you a physical check
     B5
I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck"

My whole body's in a jitter, I'm a havin' a nervous breakdown

Verse 2:

   E5
I've made up my mind, I'd better change my ways(guitar fill)
   E5
My shattered nerves have seen better days(guitar fill)
      A5 
Well, no more girls for a week or two
   E5
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew

No more movies or stayin' out late

My baby, have to find herself another date
