C
As usual you just wouldn't listen
                                          D
waiting for your turn to talk while I explain
     G
You just wouldn't stop and listen
so you got your heart run over by
            C
a mystery train

C
I tried to warn you from the start
                           D
you must be careful of my kind
 D               C
Not quite crazy not quite sane
 G                  C
right on the borderline

How many times I told you it's
got nothing to do with you why can't you see
But there's a difference in our
music you've got yours but mine's got me

I stay up day and night for nothing
putting words on paper I can't find
Not quite crazy not quite sane right
on the borderlin

It's a musical whodunit you know
how people love a mystery
There is no knot untangable the
only thing unchangeable is me

So if you are going to stay get
ready to go through this from time to time
I'm not quite crazy I'm not quite
sane right on the borderline
