GREEN DAY - Basket Case


D                        A

Do you have the time

Bm                     F#m

To listen to me whine

G                           D                       A

About nothing and everything all at once

D                A

I am one of those

Bm                     F#m

Melodramatic fools

G                        D                       A

Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

 

CHORUS

G                  A                     D

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

G                    A                        D

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

G                   A

It all keeps adding up

D                  C    Bm

I think I'm cracking up

G                  A

Am I just paranoid?

                D

I'm just stoned

 

D  A  Bm  A

D  A  Bm  A

 

D                   A

I went to a shrink

Bm                       F#m

To analyze my dreams

G                       D                        A

She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down

D                 A

I went to a whore

Bm                   F#m

He said my life is a bore

G                       D                         A

So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down

 

CHORUS

G                  A                     D

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

G                    A                         D

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

G                  A

It all keeps adding up

D                 C       Bm

I think I'm cracking up

G                  A

Am I just paranoid?

                D

I'm just stoned

 

D  A  Bm  A

Grasping to control


So I better hold on

CHORUS

G                  A                     D

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

G                    A                        D

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

G                   A

It all keeps adding up

D                  C    Bm

I think I'm cracking up

G                  A

Am I just paranoid?

                D

I'm just stoned
