[“My Brain Hurts”]

[ A / E / D ] x4 (with lead)

A (pm) D
Time gets wasted every day, I watch the minutes tick away
My brain is melting like a chocolate ice cream bar
A (pm) D
Like characters on TV these people look like maggots to me
And I wonder what the hell is wrong with me

[ A / E / D ] x2 (with lead)

Milk-fed little beauty queen, she’s straight out of a magazine
She sits beside me breathing different air than me
Perfect generation sees that I’m infected with disease
And everything just crumbles and there’s nothing left

If I wanna do something right
I gotta do it myself cause someone else will fk it up
It isn’t all black and white
And now it’s time to stop and figure out reality
No one knows what they’re talking about
If what they’re talking don’t make any sense to me
I gotta figure it out
Cause I don’t want something to believe in

[Solo is played over these chords:]

[ A / F# / D / E ] x2
[ A / C# / D ] x4

[Repeat Chorus]

My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today
My brain hurts, my brain hurts, my brain hurts today

[“Making You Cry”]
[ B / E / A / D ] x3
[ B / D / A ]

I’m sick of putting you down, pushing you around
I’m tired of making you feel like you are an eel
I tend to open my yap, make you feel like crap
And I think that you oughta kick me out on my ass

Cause I’m tired of making you cry (I’m tired of making you cry)
I’m tired of making you cry (I’m tired of making you cry)
I’m tired of making you cry (I’m tired of making you cry)
I’m tired of making you cry
[ B / E / A / D ] x3
[ B / D / A ]

Why do you put up with my crybaby shit?
I sit there eating your food, I’m in a bad mood
I’m bored or mad so I verbally harass you
My way of showing my love, I give you a shove, I suck, yeah
[Repeat Chorus]

[“I Wanna Be With You Tonight”]
[Intro – A with a few quick changes to D]

I just know your name but still just the same
I see you in my dreams at night, I see you in my food when I eat
I see your pretty mug, I think that I’m in love
If you kissed me I would blow up, if I kissed you would you throw up?
I try to say “Don’t walk away from me in my condition”

I sit and look at you and think of what to do
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
And I try to speak, my mouth’s dry, I’m weak
I’m sure you’ve got a boyfriend and he’s probably a lawyer or something
I try to say “Don’t walk away from me in my condition” cause

I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

I can’t look to the other side of the room and you’re ignoring me
You must think that I’m gay because I can’t find a way to ask you out
But I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying
[Key change]

I sit and look at you and think of what to do
After school when you go home and leave me standing all alone here
And I try to speak, my mouth’s dry, I’m weak
I’m sure you’ve got a boyfriend and he’s probably a lawyer or something
I try to say “Don’t walk away from me in my condition” cause

I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiney day
I think I can make it now the rain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiney day
