Smashing my head through a clear glass window

            Db5
But instead

           Bb5
I went out

        Db5                    Bb5         Ab5
And smashed up a phone booth around the corner

Mommy's always talking about family pride

And Daddy's always hiding from his weekend bride

             Db5
All day long

             Bb5
I felt like

     Db5                    Bb5           Ab5
Smashing my head through a clear glass window

            Db5
But instead

           Bb5
I went out

And smashed up a station wagon around the corner
Db
Db                      Gb
I looked in the mirror and told myself

Db                           Ab
"At least I don't look like them, at least"

You'll never believe it, the surprise of my life

Eb                                          Db
They had paint on their faces just like my Mommy

Db                                    Ab
Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy?

Bbm                                   Gb
Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy?

Am I plain gone, or is it just the world?

Eb                          Gb        Db
Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy

Bbm                             Gb
Trying to talk to them is like eating chicken dinner when you're

 Ab
angry

Bbm                                 Gb
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream melt when

        Ab
you're hungry

Bbm                            Ab
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break

        Gb        Bbm        Ab       Db
But my Mommy and Daddy broke up last fall

Am I going crazy, or is it just you, Daddy?

Am I going nuts, or is it just you, Mommy?

Am I plain gone, or is it just the world?

And smashed up a church around the corner
