A                 G          C                A
Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place

A               G               C              A
Feelin' guilty, Feelin' scared, Hidden cameras everywhere

A    G     C  A            G   C  A
Stop, Hold on, stay in control

A       G        C         A                        G       C           A
Girl, I want you here with me but I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be

'Cause there's a red under my bed, And there's a little yellow man in my head

And there's a true blue inside of me, It keeps stoppin' me, Touchin' ya, Watchin' ya, Lovin' ya

[Verse 2]
        A            G            C             A
Well, I fell asleep, Then I woke, Feelin' kinda queer

A             G             C        A
Lola looks me and say "Ooh, you look so weird"

A           G           C                A                   G                 C      A
She said, "Man, there's really something wrong with you, One day you're gonna self-destruct

       A          G       C              A                         G              C             A
You're up, you're down, I can't work you out, You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out

[Bridge]
C                  D                    C                   D
Silly boy, you got so much to live for, So much to aim for, So much to try for

       C                   D                Em               F
You're blowing it all with paranoia, You're so insecure, you self-destroyer"

                 A          G           C          A
