( "I Think About You During the Commercials")

[Intro]:

[ E  D ]  3x

[Verse]:

A                  E       D                A
I can't sleep at night and I can't sleep at day
    E           D           A
The TV dinner's keeping me awake
                       E      D                  A
The words are crawling in the words are crawling out
    E                 D           A
The words are playing poker on my snout

[Pre-Chorus]:

D
The teary eyed relativity
                                        A
Is finally starting to make sense to me now... and I worry
            D                         A
Because the algebra --?--?--?--?--
E
--?--

[Chorus]:

  A               E             D
I think about you during the commercials
A           E         D
  I try and keep you away
  A               E             D
I think about you during the commercials everyday
      A
Stuck in my brain
D
Growing pains
   A
Go to the brain
  E                                       D
Except sometimes when Jason talks to Mike   and they
                    A
really communicate

[Verse]
This doll is just a head
In "The Brain That Wouldn't Die"
On Mystery Science Theater last night
But when I get too drunk
And start picturing your face
I think of all the girls of Melrose Place

[Pre-Chorus]:

Consider all the possibilities offered in by new technology
One million channels
TV Guide says --?---
Five great math students we should be proud of
As Americans

[Go to Chorus]

D
All the time
      A
Stuck in my mind
    D
But when the brain
     A
Gets overrun
  E                             D
I wonder why the meathead never gets the business and the palm trees bit
A  E             D                A
     Like me and you, like me and you
E             D                A
  Like me and you, like me and you
