Intro: 
C        Em       Am       F

C                     Em        
I took my darling out to the aquarium
Am
Sea creatures stared at us
F
And we stared back at them


C                           Em                     Am
My baby freaked when she peeked at that 8-legged blob with a beak
F
She was too scared to speak
C
I said don't be upset
Em
It's only an octopus
Am                        F
Don't bother it and i'm sure it won't bother us


C                             Em
Please don't be upset my darling,
                    Am     F
Please don't get upset


C                      Em
My baby came riding to meet me one time
Am                            F
On the crowed last car of the downtown-bound 9
C
She was brave but she caved
Em
When the train was delayed


Am                            F
It was just the last straw in her hard busy day
C                       Em
I said don't get upset 'cus it's not a catastrophe
Am                      F
Nothing will happen and soon you'll be back with me


C                             Em
Please don't be upset my darling,
                  Am    F
Please don't be upset


C
My gal's got a headhache,
Em
Her ankle is hurting too
Am                           F
Boots she bought gave her a rash and her winsdom tooth
C                      Em                         Am
Is coming in and it's damp out and she's having cramps
                      F
And she's so mad at me cuz i didn't shave


C                       Em
I said don't be upset i know you're feeling sensitive
Am                          F
  I'll try to be kinder and be more attentive


C                             Em
Please don't be upset my darling
                    Am   F
Please don't get upset


C                 Em
  Darling i said, i'm gonna be 27 soon
Am                                    F
I've only got rejection letters and a sense of impending doom
C
I think it's too late for me
Em
All the comic companies hate me
Am
And i try but it's always the same
F                               C
I guess my art is just lame and it's strange but 
   Em                Am                      F
still Somehow i'm always not suiting their needs at this time


C                Em Am F 
And she said ...
C                    Em
"don't be upset, You know that you're wonderful
Am                    F
Just keep on trying" and actually what she really said was


C                     Em
All you ever wanna talk about is your self
   Am                         F
And your comic books and your album and your tour
   C
And everytime i see your friends
                Em                       Am
They just ask me where you are again and it hurts

It makes me feel like dirt
F
 I'm just gonna write where you are on my shirt
C                          Em
And i said don't be upset, don't be in a bad mood
Am                          F
Let's just go to a show and hang out and feel good


        C                              Em
Come on please don't be upset my darling,
                    Am
