Basket Case – Green Day!
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those, melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid, or am I just stoned?
I went to a shrink, to analyze my dreams
She said it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down
I went to a whore, he said my life’s a bore
So quit my whining ’cause it’s bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid? Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Grasping to control, so I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned?

In Green Day’s Basket Case, we only hear power chords on the recording. A power chord, also called a 5 chord, is a chord without a third.
This means we do not know which of the chords are major or minor. However, as you know, every chord has a number and every number has a sound.
