[First Part]

Am                  E
   I’m not going to go out tonight, no
F  C           D
   I was not invited
           Am                 E
I just overheard you talking about it, oh
F                C        E
  It’s not like I care a lot

[Pré-Refrão 1]

Am                     E              F               C
  'Cause who needs to spend a lot of time with their friends
           D
With their friends
Am               E               F
  I’ll just wait outside for my ride
               C                     E
Because I hate parties, oh I hate parties

[Chorus]

    Am        E        F       C
I’m not gonna end up a nervous wreck
         Am         E       F          C
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
        D
No, I’m not gonna name names
    Am        E             F      C
I’m not gonna end up with a broken back
            Am         E              F          C
Because the author who writes me is a talentless hack
  E                                   Am
Oh don’t let this wicked city get you down

[Segunda Parte]

Am                 E
  I'm wide-eyed a lot of the time
F                  C
  I can’t seem to shut off my mind
D                   Am                   E
  Are you trying to hook me up with this girl
                F     C       E
Just so you can get me off your back?

[Pré-Refrão 2]

Am                  E
  I just had to get out of the house
F             C                D
  It was suffocating me, suffocating me
Am                   E
But I can see you're busy
F               C           E
I’ll talk to you some other time

[Chorus]

    Am        E        F       C
I’m not gonna end up a nervous wreck
         Am         E       F          C
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
        D
No, I’m not gonna name names
    Am        E             F      C
I’m not gonna end up with a broken back
            Am         E              F          C
Because the author who writes me is a talentless hack
  E                                   Am
Oh don’t let this wicked city get you down

[Bridge]

Am
  It’s really dark outside and
E
  It’s really cold outside but
F
  Nobody’s coming so
C7M/G                  E
  I guess I better start walking

[Chorus]

    Am        E        F       C
I’m not gonna end up a nervous wreck
         Am         E       F          C
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
        D
No, I’m not gonna name names
    Am        E             F      C
I’m not gonna end up with a broken back
            Am         E              F          C
Because the author who writes me is a talentless hack
  E                                   Am    E     F   C
Oh don’t let this wicked city get you down, down, down

Am    E     F    C
Down, down, down
Am    E     F    C
Down, down, down
Am    E     F
Down, down, down

C                    Am    E     F
Don’t let it get you down, down, down
C                    Am    E     F
Don’t let it get you down, down, down
C                    Am    E     F
Don’t let it get you down, down, down
C                    Am    E     F
Don’t let it get you down, down, down
C                    E    Am
Don’t let it get you down
