You're so insecure you self destroyer..... (for this line you can either
play
these two chords or do the short solo which I don't feel like tabbing.)

Here's the layout:
riff 1 Starts with Bass. Guitar comes in at Stop!

riff 1

Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere!!!
Stop! Hold on. Stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
'Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true, blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya

riff 2
Paranoia the destroyer

riff 1

Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer
Lola looked at me and said, "ooh you look so weird."
She said, "man, there's really something wrong with you.
One day you're gonna self destruct."
You're up, you're down, I can't work you out
You get a good thing going then you blow yourself out.

riff 2

Silly boy you self destroyer

riff 3

Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You're blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure you self destroyer

riff 2

Paranoia the destroyer

riff 1

Doctor Doctor help me please I know you'll understand
There's a little time device inside me, I'm a self destructing man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad
'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into two."

riff 2

Silly boy ya self-destroyer
Paranoia the destoryer

riff 3
Self-destroyer, wreck you're health
Destroy you're friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption

riff 2
(Yeah, it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia the destroyer
(Here's to paranoia)
Paranoia the destroyer
(Hey Hey, here it goes)
Paranoia the Destroyer
(And it goes like this)

Paranoia the destoyer
(And it goes like this)

This was done late at night so sorry for any mistakes.
