Verse 1:
 A augmentedA              FF
I'd like to be a princess on a throne

 Bm7b5 Bm7b5             C#C#
To have a country I can call my own

N.C.And a king
N.C.Who's lusty and requires a fling
N.C.With a female thing

Great, men will be men

    D#D#     G#G#   C# minorC#m

I caught them in the den with

N.C.Marvin grabbing Whizzer's ass

Oh sure, I'm sure, he's sure he did his best

I mean he meant to be what he was not

 F# minorF#m        F#m/E           B7B7
The things he was are things which I forgot

N.C.He's a queen
N.C.I'm a queen
N.C.Where is my crown?

My life is shitty

And my kid seems like an idiot to me

I mean that's sick

       A7A7
I mean he's great

       F#F#
It's me who is the matter

 F#/G#
Talking madder

 F#/A         F#/A#     Bm7Bm7
Than the maddest hatter

Post-chorus 1:
  E MajorE     A augmentedA
If I repeat one more word

  D MajorD      C#7C#7     F# minorF#m
I swear I'll lose my brain

N.C.I can cry on cue
N.C.But so can you

Verse 3:
 A augmentedA              FF
Now let's consider what I might do next

 Bm7b5 Bm7b5             C#C#
I hate admitting I've become perplexed

N.C.I'm bereaved
N.C.I've cried, I've shook, I've yelled, I've heaved
N.C.I have been deceived

Post-verse 2:
 C# minorC#m
As enemies go

    D#D#    G#G#   C# minorC#m
Whizzer is not so bad

It's just he's so damn happy

I want to hate him but I really can't

It's like a nightmare how this all proceeds

 F# minorF#m               B7B7
I hope that Whizzer don't fulfill his needs

N.C.Don't is wrong
N.C.Sing along
N.C.What was the noun?

Chorus 3:
       A augmentedA
I'm breaking down

       A7A7
I'm breaking down

       D MajorD
I'll soon redecorate these stalls

        E7E7
I'd like some padding on the walls

     A augmentedA
And also pills

     A7A7
I wanna sleep

         F#F#
Sure, things'll probably worsen

I've rethought my talks with Marv

   D MajorD     C#7C#7    F# minorF#m
And one fact does emerge

 C# minorC#m          BB
I think I like his shrink

N.C.So that is why I might turn to drink
N.C.I'm on the brink

Chorus 4:
       A augmentedA
Of breaking down

       A7A7
I'm breaking down

 D MajorD     Dm7Dm7
Down, down

    A augmentedA       A/G#   F# minorF#m      F#m/E
I only want to love a man who can love me...

N.C.Or like me...
N.C.Or help me...
N.C.Help me!

Bridge:
 A augmentedA         D MajorD
Marvin was never mine

 D/C#               D/B        D/ED/E
He took his meetings in the boys' latrine

        E MajorE
I used to cry

          D/ED/E
He'd make a scene

      E7E7
I'd rather die

 E7E7
Than dry-clean

 E7E7
Marvin's wedding gown


Chorus 5:
       A augmentedA
I'm breaking down

       A7A7
I'm breaking down

      D MajorD
It's so upsetting when you've found

        E7E7
That what's rectangular is round

      A augmentedA
I mean it stinks

       A7A7
I mean he's queer

       F#F#
And me, I'm just a freak

   F#/G#        F#/A       F#/A#    Bm7Bm7
Who needs it maybe every other week


Post-chorus 3:
   E MajorE        A augmentedA
I've rethought the fun we've had

   D MajorD     C#7C#7   F# minorF#m
And one fact to emerge:

 C# minorC#m
I've played the foolish clown

N.C.The almost virgin who sings this dirge
N.C.Is on the verge

The only thing that's breaking up is my family

     A augmentedA           A/G#   F# minorF#m      F#m/E
The only thing that's breaking up is my family

    B7B7        A augmentedA  D7/F#D7/F#    Dm7/F    A augmentedA
But me, I'm breaking down
