 E7
You're the kind of person you meet
 E7
At certain dismal dull affairs.

Center of a crowd, talking much too loud
        E
Running up and down the stairs.
         A
Well it seems to me that you have seen
A

When you were a child you were treated kind

Of making ceiling wax.

You were still in school when you had that fool
 E7
Who really messed your mind.

On our first trip I tried so hard

To rearrange your mind.

 E7
You were disarranging mine.
