19th Nervous Breakdown          (midi)

 

                      D

1. You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal dull affairs,

 

    center of a crowd,

 

    talking much too loud running up and down the stairs.

                 G                          \                              \

    Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years,

          D                                  \                              \

and though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears.

                     A                 G                  D                                             G

 You better stop - look around, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes,

                                     D

    here it comes, here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown.

 

                       D

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.

              G

    Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax,

                    D

    and your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax.

                       A                 G                    D

    You better stop - look around, here it comes,

                                        G

    here it comes, here it comes,

                                     D

    here it comes, here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown.

     A                                     D

    Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane,

             G

    well nothing I do don't seem to work,

        A                                                               D

    It only seems to make matters worse.  Oh please.

 

                     D

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.

          G

    On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind,

           D

    but after a while I realized you were disarranging mine.

                       A               G                     D                                           G

    You better stop, look around, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes,

                                    D

    here it comes, here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown,

 

    Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.....
