Let me turn on the gas

I caught them in the den with

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

I'm breaking down

My life is shitty

                          E7             
And my kid seems like an idiot to me

               A      
I mean that's sick

             A7       
I mean he's great

             F#               
It's me who is the matter

 F#/G#                
Talking madder

 F#/A                  F#/A#         Bm7     
Than the maddest hatter     


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

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

   C#m                        B        
Oh, what else should I explain?

N.C.Oh, yes it's true
N.C.I can cry on cue
N.C.But so can you

I'm breaking down

Down, down

You ask me "Is it fun to cry over nothing?"

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

 Bm7b5                         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#m               
As enemies go

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

 E/G#                A/E               
It's just he's so damn happy

N.C.That it makes me so damn mad

Verse 4:
 A                          F              
I want to hate him but I really can't

It's like a nightmare how this all proceeds

 F#m                              B7                
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      
I'm breaking down

I'm breaking down

             D                       
I'll soon redecorate these stalls

               E7                      
I'd like some padding on the walls

          A       
And also pills

         A7       
I wanna sleep

                 F#                 
Sure, things'll probably worsen

 F#/G#                   F#/A                  F#/A#        Bm7     
But it's not like I'm some healthy person    


Post-chorus 2:
      E              A                 
I've rethought my talks with Marv

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

 C#m                    B        
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      
Of breaking down

              A7      
I'm breaking down

 D         Dm7    
Down, down

        A             A/G#      F#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                  D      
Marvin was never mine

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

               E   
I used to cry  

                   D/E     
He'd make a scene    

            E7     
I'd rather die

 E7                
Than dry-clean

 E7                       
Marvin's wedding gown


Chorus 5:
              A      
I'm breaking down

              A7      
I'm breaking down

           D                           
It's so upsetting when you've found

                E7                   
That what's rectangular is round

           A        
I mean it stinks

             A7       
I mean he's queer

             F#              
And me, I'm just a freak

     F#/G#                F#/A             F#/A#        Bm7     
Who needs it maybe every other week      


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

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

 C#m                               
I've played the foolish clown

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

Outro:
             A      
Of breaking down

              A7      
I'm breaking down

 D         Dm7    
Down, down

          A                      A/G#      F#m           F#m/E        A    A7/G       D/F#       Dm(maj7)/F            
The only thing that's breaking up is my family                               

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

       B7                A   D7/F#       Dm7/F       A   
But me, I'm breaking down
