Chorus 1
Am Am
Cracking up, I'm getting ready to go,
Am Am
had enough, I can't take any more.
Am Am
No pills that I can take,
Am Am
this is too real and there ain't no escape.
Verse 1
G G
It scares the daylights, it makes a nightmare,
Am Am
I'm tensioned and I'm nervous.
G G
Everybody, all around me,
Am Am
shakin' hands and sayin' howdie.
Pre-Chorus
C G D D
I don't think it's funny no more.

Chorus 2
Am Am
Cracking up like a worn out shoe,
Am Am
ain't wet but the world's leakin' through.
Am Am
I'd run but I find no pace,
Am Am
I laugh but it's wrecking me, wrecking me.
Verse 2
G G
It make a shiver, it make a shake,
Am Am
it make a monster just like an earthquake.
G G
Everybody havin' fun,
Am Am
I don't know how they can carry on.
Pre-Chorus
C G D D
'Cause I don't think it's funny no more.

Verse 3
G G
At dead of night time, at crack of dawn,
Am Am
it comes upon me without warning.
G G
If I were a gunman I would shoot,
Am Am
I'd tear the hair out by the root.
G G
I'd make a knife out of a notion,
Am Am
all at sea in an ocean of a emotion.
