I haven't figured out the bassline...but if you're playing it live or 
something, most people haven't heard it anyway, this is about as close 
as I could figure it out.

And during the second verse, he plays some weird riff too, it's somethin 
like --> (Riff 1)

If someone knows this, correct me. 
 
Other than that, I got the whole song down pat. 
 
 
(Bassline only) 
My mental stability reaches it's bitter end 
And all my senses are coming into bloom 
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love 
Not as long as there are girls like you 
 
C#   B                  C#              B 
Everything she does questions my mental health 
 
C#          B              C#           B 
It makes me lose control I want to hurt myself 
 
F#     B              C#                 B 
If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me 
 
F#                          B            C#         B 
(Well you're doing alright) And I end up talking to myself 
 
F#   B             C#               B 
Anxiety has got me strung out every day 
 
F#                 B               C#             B 
(And I do alright) My head bang it up against the wall 
 
F#                          B            C#         B 
(Well you're doing alright) And I end up talking to myself 
 
F#   B             C#               B 
Anxiety has got me strung out every day 
 
F#                 B               C#             B 
(And I do alright) My head bang it up against the wall 
 
 
(Bassline plus Riff 1) 
I don't know if I should be left alone 
Or lock myself up in a burning room 
I sit and spew my guts out to the open air 
Cause no one wants to hear a drunken fool 
 
C#   B              C#                  B 
Everything she does questions my mental health 
 
C#       B               C#           B 
Makes me lose control, I want to hurt myself 
 
F#    B               C#                 B 
If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me 
 
F#                          B            C#         B 
(Well you're doing alright) And I end up talking to myself 
 
F#   B             C#               B 
Anxiety has got me strung out every day 
 
F#                 B               C#             B 
(And I do alright) My head bang it up against the wall 
 
B        C#                F# B F# 
I do not mind if this goes on 
 
B            C#                F# B F# 
Cause now it seems I'm too far gone 
 
B        C#                 F# B F# 
I must admit that I enjoy myself 
 
B              C#            (Riff 1) 
80 please keep taking me away 
 
 
The rest of the song is just alot of repetition and Riff 1
