            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
