As recorded by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (1985 recording from the 1995 Boxset PLAYBACK) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
Cracking up getting ready to go

C
Had enough I can't take any more

C
No pills that I can take

C
This is too real and there ain't no escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
It scares the daylight making nightmares

C
I'm chancing I'm nervous

Bb
And everybody's all around me

C
Shaking hands and saying howdy
[Chorus]
Eb      Bb         F                        C
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
[Verse 2]
C
Cracking up like a worn out shoe

C
I ain't wet but the world leaking through

C
I'd run but I'd find no place

C
I'd laugh but it's wrecking me
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
Make you shiver make you shake

C
Make a monster just like an earthquake

Bb
Everybody's having fun

C
I don't know how they can carry on
[Chorus]
Eb      Bb         F                        C
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up

Eb      Bb         F                        C
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
[Interlude] C [Pre-Chorus]
Bb
The dead of nighttime the crack of dawn

C
It comes upon me without warning

Bb
If I were a gun then I would shoot

C
I tear the head out by the root

Bb
I'd make a knife out of an ocean

C
All that sea in an ocean of emotion
[Chorus]
Eb      Bb         F                        C
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up

Eb      Bb         F                        C
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up

Eb      Bb         F                        C
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
[Outro]
C
I don't think it's funny no more

C
I don't think it's funny no more

C
I don't think it's funny no more
C
