[Verse 1]
E7
You're the kind of person you meet
E7
At certain dismal dull affairs.
E7
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud
E7
Running up and down the stairs.
A
Well it seems to me that you have seen
A
Too much in too few years.
E7
And though you've tried you just can't hide
E7
Your eyes are edged with tears.
[Chorus]
E7
You better stop,

Here it comes, here it comes,
A7
Here it comes, here it comes.
E7
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown.
[Verse 2]
E7
When you were a child you were treated kind
E7
But you were never brought up right.
E7
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys
E7
But still you cried all night.
A7
Your mother who neglected you
A7
Owes a million dollar tax.
E7
And your father's still perfecting ways
E7
Of making sealing wax.
[Chorus]

You better stop,

[Verse 3]
E7
You were still in school when you had that fool
E7
Who really messed your mind.
E7
And after that you turned your back
E7
On treating people kind.
A7
On our first trip I tried so hard
A7
To rearrange your mind.
E7
But after a while I realized
E7
You were disarranging mine.
[Chorus]
E7
You better stop,
