[A]
[E] [D] My analyst told me [G] that I was right [A] out of my head, the way he described it.
[D] He said I'd be better [G] dead than alive.
I didn't listen to his [A] jive.
I knew all [Gb] along that [B] he was all [E] wrong and I knew that he [A] thought I was [D] crazy but I'm not.
Oh no.
My analyst told me [G] that I was right [Ab] out of my head.
[Am] He said I'd need treatment [D] but I'm not that easily [Gm] led.
He said I was the [G] type that was most [A] inclined when out of his [Gbm] sight to be [B] out of my mind
and he thought I was [A] nuts.
No more [D] ifs, or ands, or buts.
They say as a [B] child I [Bb] appeared a little bit wild with all my crazy ideas but I knew what was [Gb] happening.
I knew I was a genius.
[D] [C] What's so [B] strange when you [E] know that you're a wizard at three?
I knew that [Bm] this was meant to be.
[D] Now I heard little [B] children were supposed [Bb] to sleep tight.
That's why I [D] got into the vodka one night.
[G] My parents got [C] frantic, didn't know what to do.
[D] But I saw some [Gb] crazy scenes [B] before I came to know.
Do you think I was crazy?
I may have been [D] only three but I was swinging.
They all looked at me.
[B] [A] They all looked at Edison and also at Einstein.
So why should I feel [D] sorry if they just couldn't understand the idiomatic logic that went on
in my [A] head?
I [B] had a brain emesis when I refused to [Dm] ride on all those double-decker [E] buses all because
there was no [Dm] driver on the top.
What?
No [Gm] driver on the top?
[Abm] Man, the chick is twisted, crazy, kook-shubi, here flips [D] city.
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head [B] but I said, dear doctor, [D] I think that
I should have voted [Bm] you instead [D] because I have thought a thing that's unique and new
[B] to prove that I'll have the last laugh on you.
[Ab] Because instead of one head, [Am] [C] I got two.
[N] And you know two heads are better [Cm] than one.
[D] [Dm]
