For me, this is one of Green Day's most relatable songs.
This is super easy to play, so have fun with it!

Billie Joe Armstrong said about this song, "When I wrote that song it was right before
Dookie came out, and I was really at odds with myself. I was like, man, do I really want
to do this? A lot of the time I was thinking about suicide, how it's so easy to kill 
yourself, but so hard to stay alive. I was in a break-up with my then-girlfriend, a total,
raving punk rocker who didn't approve of me being on a major label. She moved down to 
Ecuador, saying she couldn't live in a world with McDonald's and such. It was fucking me 
up pretty bad."


G                   C
Stranded...lost inside myself
              F
My own worst friend
                    D
And my own closest enemy


G              C
I'm branded...maladjusted
        F
Never trusted anyone
             D
Let alone myself


C         G
I must insist
     D         G
On being a pessimist
        C           G          D
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind


G               C
Elected the rejected
F                          D
I perfect the science of the idiot


G                   C
No meaning and no healing
F                         D
Self loathing freak and introverted deviot

C         G
I must insist
     D         G
On being a pessimist
        C           G          D
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

C            G
I'm gettin' pissed
        D           G
I'm a worthless pessimist
        C            G          D
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
