Very cool song from Green Day, and very easy to play.. the only thing you need to know
is that he's tuned down a half-step.. just tune all your strings down a half-step if you'd
like to play along with the CD.. have fun!

VERSE 1:
E5 B5 C#5 G#5
Do you have the time? To listen to me whine?
A5 E5 B5
About nothing and everything all at once
E5 B5 C#5 G#5
I am one of those melodramatic fools
A5 E5 B5
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it
CHORUS:
A5 B5 E5
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
A5 B5 E5
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
A5 B5
It all keeps adding up
E5 D5 C#5
I think I'm cracking up
A5 B5
Am I just paranoid
E5 B5 C#5 B5 E5 B5 C#5 B5
I'm just stoned
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1, but not palm-muted]
I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore, who said my life's a bore
so quit my whining cause it's bringing her down
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned
BRIDGE:
E5 B5 C#5 B5 E5 B5 C#5 B5
A5 B5 [stop]
Grasping to control
E5 B5 C#5 G#5 A5 E5 B5
so I better hold on
E5 B5 C#5 G#5 A5 E5 B5
CHORUS:
A5 B5 E5
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
A5 B5 E5
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
A5 B5
It all keeps adding up
E5 D5 C#5
I think I'm cracking up
A5 B5
Am I just paranoid
E5
I'm just stoned
