Child Psychology

D Gm D Gm D Gm C A D Gm I stopped talking when I was six years old D Gm I didn't want anything more to do with the outside world D I was happy being quiet Gm C A But, of course, they wouldn't leave me alone D Gm My parents tried every trick in the book D Gm From speech therapists to child psychologists D They even tried bribery Gm I could have anything C A As long as I said it out loud Bm E G D Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it Bm E G Gm Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it D Gm Of course this episode didn't last forever D Gm I'd made my point and it was time to move on D Gm To peel away the next layer of deceit C A And see what new surprises lay in store D Gm My school report said I showed no interest D "A disruptive influence" Gm I felt sorry for them in a way D Gm And when they finally expelled me C A It didn't mean a thing Bm E G D Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it Bm E G Gm Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it D At that time she stopped what she was doing, she stopped playing D She stared, she had the facial grimacing D And then the psychiatrist was saying D "Julie, Julie, can you hear me? Can you open your eyes?" D "Can you stick out your tongue?" D And all of a sudden, Julie struck out D Gm The November day I came home D The Christmas decorations were already up Gm Spray on snow, colored flashing lights D Gm And an artificial tree that played Silent Night C A Over and over again D Gm My parents welcomed me with loving arms D Gm But within an hour were back at each others throats D Normal, happy childhood back on course Gm C A Batteries not included Bm E G D Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it Bm E G D Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it Bm E G D Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it Bm E G Gm Life is unfair, k**l yourself or get over it
