More chords by Rivers Cuomo
Genre: grunge, alternative, pop
Capo on 1st Fret
The B5, F#m and G sound best if they are played as power chords. Play a
regular G and A in the chorus until
"am I just paranoid, am I just stoned", at that part (the last 2 lines) play
the G and A as power chords.
This version is the same as when Rivers Cuomo of Weezer played it live.

[Verse 1]
D A B5 F#m
Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
G D A A
About nothing and everything all at once

I am one of those
B5 F#m
Melodramatic fools
G D
Neurotic to the bone
A A
No doubt about it
[Chorus]
G A D D
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
G A D D
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
G A
It all keeps adding up
D A F#m
I think I'm cracking up
G A
Am I just paranoid?
D
Or am I just stoned?
[Verse 2]
D A
I went to a shrink
B5 F#m
To analyze my dreams
G D A A
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
D A
I went to a whore
B5 F#m
He said my life's a bore
G D A A
So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down
[Chorus]
G A D D
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
G A D D
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
G A
It all keeps adding up
D A F#m
I think I'm cracking up
