[Verse 1]
C5                                   G5
Recently I've been struggling with anxiety
Am                             E
To the point I find it hard to leave the flat
    F5               F5      C5/G     C5/E
The days drain away, scouring e-Bay
F5          F5         C#5    D#5          F5        F5 G5
Or looking on Zoopla at houses where I'll never live


[Chorus]
   Am    Em      F    G
I know I must be paranoid
    Am    Em     F       G
But every time I get the bus
  Am       Em    F        G
I feel the many pairs of eyes
G#5            A#5          C5
Weighing up my person surreptitiously


[Verse 2]
C5                                 G5
I was offered and took volunt'ry redundancy
Am                            E
From my role as counsellor at St. Cecilia's secondary school
   F5               F5      C5/G     C5/E
So I went back freelance as a graphic designer
F5          F5         C#5    D#5          F5        F5 G5
Business is ok but I miss working with the young folk


[Chorus]
  Am     Em      F    G
I know I must be paranoid
     Am     Em     F     G
When I pick up the groceries
    Am     Em        F         G
One of the girls who works the check-out
G#5            A#5           C5
Tuts under her breath and it destroys me for a week


[Verse 3]
C5                          G5
Dr. Shen prescribed me beta-blockers
    Am                       E
And recommended taking daily exercise
   F5
So I've started jogging
    F5               F5      C5/G     C5/E
To my own great surprise
F5          F5         C#5    D#5          F5        F5 G5
Hundreds of miles go-o-o-ing nowhere


[Chorus]
  Am    Em       F   G
I know I must be paranoid
     Am      Em   F      G
This morning in memorial park
   Am       Em       F  G
I thought I caught a busker
G#5           A#5                    C5
Sneak an ugly word into "Wonderwall" as I went by


[Bridge]
F#5 C#5         C5
                Jogging, jogging, I'm jogging, jogging
F#5 G#5 D#5 C#5 C5
                Jogging, jogging, jogging, jogging
F#5 C#5         C5
                Jogging, jogging, I'm jogging, jogging
F#5 G#5 D#5 C#5 F#5 G#5 D#5 C#5 C5
                                Jogging


[Verse 4]
C5                              G5
There's a Kurdish family on the ground floor
Am                                    E
Had a brick put through their kitchen window
    F5               F5      C5/G     C5/E
The police know who did this, still they do nothing
F5          F5         C#5    D#5          F5        F5 G5
It's lonely up here in Middle-England


[Chorus]
  Am    Em      F    G
I know I must be paranoid
Am    Em     F       G
But I feel the atmosphere
        Am     Em      F  G
'Round here is growing nastier
Am     Em          F  G
People don't smile anymore
        Am       Em        F     G
There's no such thing as a quick-fix
     Am     Em     F     G
But jogging has provided me
  Am      Em       F        G
A base on which to mould my time
    Am     Em      F    G
And let my worries go a while
  Am          Em      F   G
     I know I must be paranoid
Am       Em       F   G
   But I feel the atmosphere
        Am     Em      F  G
'Round here is growing nastier
Am     Em         F  G
People don't care anymore
Am        Em      F       G
Would you like to sponsor me
    Am          Em     F    G
For running the London Marathon?
Am          Em     F    G
Though it's really daunting
      G#5               A#5                     C5
We're aiming to raise a thousand pounds for the British Red Cross
