[D] I am one of [A] those
Me [Bm] lodramatic [F#m] fools
Neu [G] rotic to the [D] bone
No doubt about [A] it
[Chorus - Bass drum just on each chord once]
[G] Sometimes I [A] give myself the [D] creeps
[G] Sometimes my [A] mind plays tricks [D] on me
(more bass drum)
It [G] all keeps adding [A] up

To [Bm] analyze my [F#m] dreams
She [G] says it's lack of [D] sex
That's bringing [A] me down
I [D] went to a [A] whore
He [Bm] said my life's a [F#m] bore
So [G] quit my whining [D] cause
It's bringing [A] her down
[Chorus - More bass drum so like low tom figures]
[G] Sometimes I [A] give myself [D] the creeps
[G] Sometimes my [A] mind plays tricks [D] on me
