[Riff]
Here comes that awful feeling again
Welcome the ugly animal.
I hold my breath to what you sing,
My pyro b-ba-ba ball and chain,
I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up


A		      G
I've got my telescope head in the haystack
A                         G
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
A                        G                NC
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command


[Riff]
Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monster jealousy
The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl
I'd spelled your name with Oatios,
he messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up


A		      G
I've got my telescope head in the haystack
A                         G
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
A                        G                NC
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

[Riff]
If I were you I'd really run from me
I really really wish that I were you
I'd give this a crunchy
and drop a load on your head
This monster in me makes me wish you'd messed it, messed it up


A		      G
I've got my telescope head in the haystack
A                         G
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
A
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
A                        G                NC
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command


Bridge:  | D | F | A | C |  | D | F | G | A |

(you're mean, mean, mean
you tease, tease, tease me)


{Continue with the bridge progression until end.}

If I were you I'd really run from me
I'd really really wish that I were you
When I get loose I'll climb a tree
and drop a load on your head
This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up

(you're mean, mean, mean
you tease, tease, tease me)

Do you smell jealousy?
Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy?

{End on riff.}

used up, I'm out of luck, I am starstruck, By something in your eyes.
That is keeping my hope alive.   - Matthew Sweet
