G
Nervous tension, man's invention,

                                      C
Is the biggest killer that's around today 
Let the tension out or it will build and build inside
                         G
And strike you down some day 
Nervous tension, man's invention
                                  C
Is the biggest waste of human energy 
Let the tension out, or it will surely kill
                        G
And that will be a tragedy 

D
Valium helps you for a while

                            C
But somehow valium seems to bring me down 

        D
There's no pill I can recommend where side effects 

                     C                  D
Aren't guaranteed to send you round the bend 

          G
You gotta let out the tension 

       C                 G
With a little bit of exercise 
Loosen up your muscles
             C                    G 
And feel the knots in your body untie 
We oh we oh
G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 

G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 

G
It sure beats quaaludes 

                     G
It sure beats cocaine 
Even Freud recommends it
         C                G
Cos it relieves the strain 
Altogether now
G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah

G           C           G
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah 

C
Some people say it sends you deaf 

D
Some people say it sends you blind 

E
Some people say it makes you old 

F                             G   
some people say it blows your mind 
But I say
G             
If it's good for your health 

     C                 G
It's good for your mind 
If it keeps you together
     C               G 
It's really all right 
We oh we oh Oh c'mon, kick the cat
G                    C                           G
Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health 

G           C                              G
Oh oh oh oh Blame it on the national health 

C
