    Maybe I think too much for my own    good

Some people say so 
 
                 |C#m    |
 Other people say "No, no 
 
                |Bm         |
 The fact is you don't think 
 
               |E
 as much as you could."

Hmmm

 I had a childhood that was mercifully brief
 
  |            |             |    |
 I grew up in a state of disbelief
 
             |C#m      |         |     |
 I started to think too much when I was twelve  
 
            |Bm7 |
going on thirteen 
 
                  |C#m7 |
 Me and girls from Saint Augus - tine 
 
         |Bm7      |
up in the mezzanine 
 
E               |A        |
  Thinking about God, yeah 
 
        |E        |    |  |
 Maybe I think too much 
 
        |F#m           |  |  |
 Maybe I think too much 
 
        |E        |    |  |
 Maybe I think too much

 Maybe I think too much

 Have you ever experienced a period of grace 
 
| A D        |A          D      |A      D        |A   D|
    when your brain just takes a seat behind your face 
 
| A D      |C#m   F#m |C#m     F#m |C#m F#m  |C#m
    and the world be - gins the   el - ephant dance 
 
   F#m      |Bm   |
Everything's funny 
 
           |C#m  |
 Everyone's sunny 
 
                 |Bm   |
You take out your money 
 
              |E   |
 walk down the road 
 
 
(Single notes)E   |E     F#|A  F#  E   | D C#|C#
              That leads me to the girl  I-I  love 
 
C# |E    F#  A B   | A    F#  E |
The girl I'm always  thinking of 
 
            |C#m7     |    |  |
 But maybe I think too much 
 
                    |Bm7 |
 And I ought to just hold her 
 
               |C#m7 |
 Stop trying to mold her 
 
           |Bm7 |E
 Maybe blindfold her 
 
              |A  |
 and take her away 
 
 
 
Repeat and fade:
 
       |E        |    |  |
Maybe I think too much 
 
       |F#m           |  |  |
Maybe I think too much 
 
       |E        |    |  |
Maybe I think too much 
 
       |F#m           |  |  |
Maybe I think too much 
 
       |Bm7      |    |  |
Maybe I think too much 
 
       |F#m7          |  |  |
Maybe I think too much
