Verse:
E               B
Do you have the time
C#m          G#
To listen to me whine
A                E                 B
About nothin' and everything all at once
E           B
I am one of those

melodramatic fools
A         E                       B
moronic ... ??? ... no doubt about it
Chorus:
A           B               E
Sometimes I give myself the creeps (???)
A            B                    E
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
A                   B
It all keeps adding up
E                    C#m
I think I'm cracking up
A             B            E B C#m A (<-- repeat these 4 chords a few times)   
Am I just paranoid? I'm just stoned

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore, she said my life's a bore
And quit my whining cause it's bringing her down.

Song:Basket Case
Band:Green Day

   This song is very simple.    It goes like:
   
   Verse:
   Riff 1:  E-B-C#m-G#m-A-E-B     Play that a few times
                    
   Chorus:      
   Riff 2:  A-B-E        Play that 3 or 4 times and on the last time 
play this:
  
    Riff3:E~ D~ C#m~ A-B          Play that once and then play:


    Riff4:E-B-C#m                 Play that twice and then play Riff1 
Again and then Riff2,Riff3,Riff4 four times,and then play this:

   Riff5:A-B           Play that at the "Grasping to control...so I 
better hold on" part,then play

  Riff6:E-C#m-A-B-E        Repeat that and then play this at the end:
