Green Day’s breakthrough punk-pop anthem is fast, fun, and full of energy. The song about anxiety and panic attacks became one of the defining tracks of 90s punk rock.

Tip: Speed is key here. Use downstroke-heavy strumming for that punk energy. Power chords (E5, B5, C#5, A5) work great for electric. On acoustic, keep the tempo fast and tight.
Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
E B C#m
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
A E
About nothing and everything all at once?
E B C#m
I am one of those melodramatic fools
A E
Neuro-tic to the bone 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 C#m A B
It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up
E A B
Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned?
Verse 2
E B C#m
I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
A E
She says it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down
E B C#m
I went to a whore, he said my life’s a bore
A E
So quit my whining ’cause it’s bringing her down
