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

       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.
