VERSE (this is played in both verses)
Dm
These are the results of a thousand electric volts
Gm
A neck with bolts, "Nurse we're losin him, check the pulse!"
Dm
A kid who refused to respect adults
Gm
Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose
Dm
A corny lookin white boy, scrawny and always ornery
Gm
Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies pickin on me
Dm
And I might snap, one day just like that
Gm
I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack
Dm
(Whosssssh) My first day in junior high, this kid said,
Gm
"It's you and I, three o'clock sharp this afternoon you die"
Dm
I looked at my watch it was one twenty
Gm
"I already gave you my lunch money what more do you want from me?!?"
Dm
He said, "Don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse..."
Gm
My palms were sweaty, and I started to shake at first
Dm
Something told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache it works"
Gm
I screamed, "Owww! My appendix feels like they could burst!
Dm
Teacher, teacher, quick I need a naked nurse!"
Gm
[N] "What's the matter?"
Dm
[E] "I don't know, my leg, it hurts!"
Gm
[N] "Leg?!? I thought you said it was your tummy?!?"
Dm
[E] "Oh, I mean it is, but I also got a bum knee!"
Gm
[N] "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over.
Dm
And just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework."
Gm
[E] "But don't you wanna give me after school detention?"
Dm
[N] "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I'ma let him."
CHORUS
Dm C
Brain damage, ever since the day I was born
Bm A
Drugs is what they used to say I was on
G F
They say I never knew which way I was goin
E A
But everywhere I go they keep playin my song
