The end of the chorus is played differently all 3 times- that's the deal
with the *.

A#dim is an A# diminished chord consisting of the notes A#, C, and E.
Any chord followed by a slash is the chord name followed by the bass
note.  For example, Bm/A is a Bm chord with an A played on the bass.

D                    G       A      D
I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane with a

      G     A     A#dim Bm Bm/A      E/G#  E
rabid wolverine in my underwear when suddenly a guy

  A                                    G
behind me in the backseat popped right up and cupped

                    D/F#     D               G
his hands across my eyes.  I guessed, "Is it Uncle

takes off his prosthetic lips, and tells me:

D     G        A       D
Everything you know is wrong, black is white,

       G       A    A#dim Bm       Bm/A E/G#
up is down and short is long, and everything

     E               A  A7/G      A/F#    A/E

D    G         A       D
Everything you know is wrong, just forget the

C#sus4    F#m   Bm            Bm/A    E/G#   E
