Intro:

C Em Am F

C Em

I took my darling out to the aquarium

Sea creatures stared at us

And we stared back at them

C Em Am

My baby freaked when she peeked at that 8-legged blob with a beak

She was too scared to speak

I said don't be upset

It's only an octopus

Am F

Don't bother it and i'm sure it won't bother us

C Em

Please don't be upset my darling,

Am F

Please don't get upset

C Em

My baby came riding to meet me one time

Am F

On the crowed last car of the downtown-bound 9

She was brave but she caved

When the train was delayed

Am F

It was just the last straw in her hard busy day

C Em

I said don't get upset 'cus it's not a catastrophe

Am F

Nothing will happen and soon you'll be back with me

C Em

Please don't be upset my darling,

Am F

Please don't be upset

My gal's got a headhache,

Her ankle is hurting too

Am F

Boots she bought gave her a rash and her winsdom tooth

C Em Am

And she's so mad at me cuz i didn't shave

C Em

C Em

Please don't be upset my darling

Am F

Please don't get upset

C Em

Darling i said, i'm gonna be 27 soon

C Em

All you ever wanna talk about is your self

And your comic books and your album and your tour

And everytime i see your friends

Em Am

They just ask me where you are again and it hurts

It makes me feel like dirt

I'm just gonna write where you are on my shirt

C Em

And i said don't be upset, don't be in a bad mood

Let's just go to a show and hang out and feel good

C Em

Come on please don't be upset my darling,
