G                                            G riff
I've been wearin' my fingers down to the bone,
G                                      G riff
Just pushin' your number on the telephone.
G                                           G riff
I chewed up the rug, knocked a hole in the wall,
G                                    G riff
But your line was busy everytime I call.
C
Remember the shots that we took last night?
G                               G riff
Polaroid Woman sure treat me right.
D
But right now I'm down on my knees,
C           Bb             G
I need your nervous release,

Your nervous release.

G                                                 G riff
I had a long hard day and now my nerves are on edge,
G                                         G riff
Like I just stepped back from a window ledge.
G                                          G riff
I smoked too many straights, too much caffeine,
G                                G riff
Feel like I'm burnin' bad gasoline.
C
IBM Woman, now I've got a hunch,
G                                          G riff
You're too wound up from operating that punch
D
I'll hang up the phone, grab the keys,
C           Bb            G intro riff x 2
I need your nervous release, ah yeah.

{Instrumental}    G

G                                          G riff
I woke up at noon, I should've stayed in bed.
G                                  G riff
I checked my level, it was in the red.
G                                            G riff
I swear I heard voices, there was no one around,
G                                     G riff
An ice-cold shower couldn't cool me down.
C
I used to brag about my nerves of steel,
G                                 G riff
Heavy Metal Woman just can't be real!
D
Cool me down by degrees,
C          Bb             G intro riff x 4
I need your nervous release.

N-n..n- n- ...

C                             G
I'm as nervous as a man could be,
C                          G
Full of guilt and insecurity.
C                               G
Too much work, man it's killing me!,
D                                      C
Like a mad dog howling through the trees,
            Bb             G
I need your nervous release, your nervous release.
G
N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release.
G
N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release.
G
Oh baby, oh baby...
G
Alright!

[Outro] - pretty much G
          then a drum break
          then some more G
          and finally intro riff x 4
          and end on G
