E 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.

A               
       Here it comes, here it comes.
              
E
       Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.
VERS
E 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.
VERS
E 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.
