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 A
Too much in too few years. E7 And though you've tried you just can't hide E7 Your eyes are edged with tears.

E7 Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown. Verse 2: E7 When you were a child you were treated kind E7 But you were never brought up right. E7 You were always spoiled with a thousand toys E7 But still you cried all night. A7 Your mother who neglected you A7 Owes a million dollar tax. E7 And your father's still perfecting ways E7 Of making ceiling wax.
