E A mental shakedown (riff) A E I see my hands how they shiver, See my knees how they quiver A B7 My whole body's in a jitter, I'm a havin' a nervous breakdown Verse: E Well, I went to see my doctor just the other day (guitar fill) E And I'm got to tell you what the man had to say (guitar fill) A Well, he said, "Hey boy, you just gotta slow down E You can't keep a traipsin' all over town A After givin' you a physical check B7 I've come to the conclusion you're a total wreck" E I'm a havin' a nervous breakdown E A mental shakedown (Riff) A E I see my hands how they shiver, See my knees how they quiver A B7 My whole body's in a jitter, I'm a havin' a nervous breakdown E I've made up my mind, I'd better change my ways (riff) E My shattered nerves have seen better days (riff) A Well, no more girls for a week or two E No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew A No more movies or stayin' out late B7 My baby, have to find herself another date
