I see my hands how they shiver, See my knees how they quiver

My whole body's in a jitter, I'm a havin' a nervous breakdown

       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"
