  A#         C
What in the world happened to
  F A# F C
you?

   Dm               A#        C                 F
Before you started joking you used to have a brain
     Dm            A#           C            F
But now you don't get even the simplest of things
    Dm           A#        C            F
I draw a little picture or even use my hands
    Dm      A#             C                F
I try to explain, but you just don't understand

Chorus:
  Dm   A#              F      C
(Hey, hey) Now you're really losing it
  Dm   A#               F              C
(Hey, hey) Now you you really don't allow that you're gone
  Dm   A#           F        C
(Hey, hey) But you keep on abusing it
  A#         C
What in the world happened to
  F A# F C
you?

It's bad enough you do it, you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well, you know that's something else
I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain, but you just don't understand

Chorus - x2

I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning, you do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life

So I'll see you man tomorrow, you'll be gackin' up again
I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just don't understand

Chorus:
Man, you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to you?
