      F#                           B
I was always gonna end up on the wrong side of
the track
        C#7                                  F#
I'm a blonde hair, nutcase, freakshow, certified
damn maniac
                                         B
The wheels upstairs are turnin', but I swear
that hamster died
           C#7                         F#
You could bet your ass I'm crazy bona fide
                                 B
Hell raisin' and high water, my tire's done
gone flat
         C#7                         F#
I'm the bottom of the barrel with a target on
my back
                                     B
My mind goes to the gutter, man, to me that's
aimin' high
           C#7
You could bet your ass I'm crazy bona fide

Chorus:
      B                       F#
Bona fide on the Bible, bona fide on arrival
                                            C#7
Them lights are on, but, baby, they ain't bright
(They ain't bright)
    B                                   F#
So hit me where it hurts 'cause, honey, I've
answered to worse
                                         C#7
I was born a little wrong, but that's alright
(That's alright)
                                       F#
You could bet your ass I'm crazy bona fide

I'm salt poured in my coffee, I'm sugar in the tank
I'm down to my last dollar laughin' on down
to the bank
I stay off the wagon 'cause that horse is
too damn high
You can bet your ass I'm crazy bona fide

Chorus:
Bona fide on the Bible, bona fide on arrival
Them lights are on, but, baby, they ain't bright
(They ain't bright)
So hit me where it hurts 'cause, honey,
I've answered to worse
I was born a little wrong, but that's alright
(That's alright)
You can bet your ass I'm crazy bona fide

My left foot's on my right foot,
my right foot's in my mouth
Hell, I'd be droppin' knowledge, but
I just can't spit it out
I ain't ever lonely 'cause it's me, myself and I
You can bet your ass we're crazy bona fide

Chorus:
Bona fide on the Bible, bona fide on arrival
Them lights are on, but, baby, they ain't bright
(They ain't bright)
So hit me where it hurts 'cause, honey,
I've answered to worse
I was born a little wrong, but that's alright
(That's alright)
You can bet your ass I'm crazy bona fide
You can bet your ass I'm crazy bona fide
