Intro 
Am        | Am        | Am        | Am        | 
Am        | Am        | Am        | Am*       || 


         Am              Am 
Cracking up, I'm getting ready to go, 
     Am             Am 
had enough, I can't take any more. 
   Am    Am 
No pills that I can take, 
            Am               Am 
this is too   real and there ain't no escape. 


G                          G 
  It scares the daylights,   it makes a nightmare, 
Am             Am 
 I'm tensioned   and I'm nervous. 
G            G 
  Everybody,   all around me, 
Am                  Am 
  shakin' hands and   sayin' howdie. 

Pre-Chorus 
C       G          D        D 
I don't think it's funny no more. 

Interlude:
Am        | Am        | Am        | Am*       || 


         Am        Am 
Cracking up like a worn out shoe, 
      Am          Am 
ain't wet but the world's leakin' through. 
    Am        Am 
I'd run but I find no pace, 
  Am             Am 
I laugh but it's wrecking me, wrecking me. 

 
G                   G 
  It make a shiver,   it make a shake, 
Am                  Am 
  it make a monster   just like an earthquake. 
G           G 
  Everybody   havin' fun, 
Am                          Am 
  I don't know how they can   carry on. 

 
       C       G          D        D 
'Cause I don't think it's funny no more. 

Interlude 
Am        | Am        | Am        | Am*       || 

Interlude 
Am        | Am        | Am        | Am        | 
Am        | Am        | Am        | Am        || 


G                        G 
  At dead of night time,   at crack of dawn, 
Am                 Am 
  it comes upon me   without warning. 
G                    G 
  If I were a gunman   I would shoot, 
Am                      Am 
  I'd tear the hair out   by the root. 
G                      G 
  I'd make a knife out   of a notion, 
Am                 Am 
  all at sea in an ocean of a emotion. 

Outro 1 
C       G          D        D 
I don't think it's funny no more. 
Am        | Am        | Am        | Am        || 

Outro 2 (Repeat and Fade Out) 
C       G          D        D              Am     | Am     | Am     | Am     | 
I don't think it's funny no more. Cracking up.
