Not like I&rsquo m bout to fall and cut my throat with the shards
Em E7 Am
And I&rsquo m afraid of damn near everything
F B7
All my life&rsquo s a panic trip
Eº7 B7
A rocket ship to planet schizoid

So could you be the light my X-rays need
F B7
All my life&rsquo s a Duchovny role, oh

I&rsquo ll twist my words, a clever turn of phrase
F B7 Eº7 B7
Sorry, darling, please excuse my constant need to self-aggrandize
Em Em7M Em7 Em6
Coddling my narcissism
A7 B7
M.A.D. come ride my A-bomb
Em E7 Am
While I beg you to say I&rsquo m okay
F B7 Eº7 B7
So here&rsquo s one last lyric to sum up these thoughts I struggled to come up with
