Verse: 1

D MajorD        A augmentedA    B5B5      F# minorF#m
Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

About nothing and everything all at once

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
G+G      A augmentedA          D MajorD D MajorD
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
  G+G        A augmentedA
It all keeps adding up
 D MajorD     A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
I think I'm cracking up
  G+G     A augmentedA
A minorAm I just paranoid?
       D MajorD
Or am I just stoned?
