verse 1 
A                         F 
I'd like to be a princess on a throne 
Bm7b5                   C# 
To have a country I can call my own 
N.C. 
And a king 
N.C. 
Who's lusty and requires a fling 
N.C. 
With a female thing 

Post-verse 1 
C#m 
Great, men will be men 
      D#      G#   C#m 
Let me turn on the gas 
E/G#          A/E 
I caught them in the den with 
N.C. 
Marvin grabbing Whizzer's ass 

verse 2 
A                               F 
Oh sure, I'm sure, he's sure he did his best 
Bm7b5                      C#7 
I mean he meant to be what he was not 
F#m           F#m/E                B7 
The things he was are things which I forgot 
N.C. 
He's a queen 
N.C. 
I'm a queen 
N.C. 
Where is my crown? 
 
             A 
I'm breaking down 
             A7 
I'm breaking down 
           D 
My life is shitty 
                         E7 
And my kid seems like an idiot to me 
              A 
I mean that's sick 
            A7 
I mean he's great 
            F# 
It's me who is the matter 
F#/G# 
Talking madder 
F#/A             F#/A#   Bm7 
Than the maddest hatter 


Post-Chorus 
   E        A 
If I repeat one more word 
  D          C#7     F#m 
I swear I'll lose my brain 
  C#m                    B 
Oh, what else should I explain? 
N.C. 
Oh, yes it's true 
N.C. 
I can cry on cue 
N.C. 
But so can you 

             A 
I'm breaking down 
             A7 
I'm breaking down 
D       Dm7 
Down, down 
            A         A/G# F#m    F#m/E 
You ask me 'Is it fun to cry over nothing?' 
N.C. 
It is, I'm breaking down

verse 3 
A                         F 
Now let's consider what I might do next 
Bm7b5                   C# 
I hate admitting I've become perplexed 
N.C. 
I'm bereaved 
N.C. 
I've cried, I've shook, I've yelled, I've heaved 
N.C. 
I have been deceived 

Post-verse 2 
C#m 
As enemies go 
       D#    G#   C#m 
Whizzer is not so bad 
E/G#           A/E 
It's just he's so damn happy 
N.C. 
That it makes me so damn mad 

verse 4 
A                        F 
I want to hate him but I really can't 
Bm7b5                          C#7 
It's like a nightmare how this all proceeds 
F#m                          B7 
I hope that Whizzer don't fulfill his needs 
N.C. 
Don't is wrong 
N.C. 
Sing along 
N.C. 
What was the noun? 

             A 
I'm breaking down 
             A7 
I'm breaking down 
            D 
I'll soon redecorate these stalls 
              E7 
I'd like some padding on the walls 
         A 
And also pills 
        A7 
I wanna sleep 
                F# 
Sure, things'll probably worsen 
F#/G#             F#/A             F#/A#  Bm7 
But it's not like I'm some healthy person 


Post-Chorus 
     E            A 
I've rethought my talks with Marv 
    D        C#7   F#m 
And one fact does emerge 
C#m                B 
I think I like his shrink 
N.C. 
So that is why I might turn to drink 
N.C. 
I'm on the brink 

            A 
Of breaking down 
             A7 
I'm breaking down 
D       Dm7 
Down, down 
       A           A/G# F#m       F#m/E 
I only want to love a man who can love me... 
N.C. 
Or like me... 
N.C. 
Or help me... 
N.C. 
Help me!
 

Bridge 
A                D 
Marvin was never mine 
D/C#                        D/B           D/E 
He took his meetings in the boys' latrine 
              E 
I used to cry 
                  D/E 
He'd make a scene 
           E7 
I'd rather die 
E7 
Than dry-clean 
E7 
Marvin's wedding gown 

             A 
I'm breaking down 
             A7 
I'm breaking down 
          D 
It's so upsetting when you've found 
               E7 
That what's rectangular is round 
          A 
I mean it stinks 
            A7 
I mean he's queer 
            F# 
And me, I'm just a freak 
    F#/G#          F#/A        F#/A#  Bm7 
Who needs it maybe every other week
 

Post-Chorus 
     E             A 
I've rethought the fun we've had 
    D        C#7 F#m 
And one fact to emerge: 
C#m 
I've played the foolish clown 
N.C. 
The almost virgin who sings this dirge 
N.C. 
Is on the verge 

Outro 
            A 
Of breaking down 
             A7 
I'm breaking down 
D       Dm7 
Down, down 
         A                    A/G# F#m       F#m/E  A  A7/G  D/F#  Dm(maj7)/F 
The only thing that's breaking up is my family 
         A                    A/G# F#m       F#m/E 
The only thing that's breaking up is my family 
      B7             A D7/F# Dm7/F A 
But me, I'm breaking down
