Man, I got Pablo that and I took her back to my place.
Feeling gimpy, feeling scared, hidden cameras everywhere.

[E] [G] Girl, I want you [D] here with me.
But I'm [G] really not as cool as [A] I'd like to be.

[A] And there's a [Em] little yellow man in my [A] head.
I know the [G] truth.
[C] [A] Inside of me, they keep [G] stopping me.

[A] [G] [A] [Em] I fell asleep and I woke feeling kinda queer.
Lola looked at me and said, ooh, you look so weird.
She said, man, [A] there's really something wrong with you.
[C] One day you're gonna [A] zoom and stop.
You're up, [Em] you're down, and I'm coming [A] around.

[A] [E] Silly [A] boy, you self [G]-destroyer.
[C] Silly [D] boy, you got so much to [C] live for.
So much to think [D] for, so much to try [C] for.
But blow it all [D] with paranoia.
[Em] I'm so insecure of [F] you, you self-destroyer.

[A] [Em] doctor, help me please, I know you'll [A] understand.
You've got a kind of [C] vice inside of me, I'm a self [A]-destructing man.
There's a rat [Em] under my [A] bed.
And there's a little [Em] green man in my [A] head.
They said you're not [C] going crazy, [A] you're just a little sad.
