C        Em       Am       F 

C                     Em         
I took my darling out to the aquarium 
Am 
Sea creatures stared at us 
F 
And we stared back at them 


C                           Em                     Am 
My baby freaked when she peeked at that 8-legged blob with a beak 
F 
She was too scared to speak 
C 
I said don't be upset 
Em 
It's only an octopus 
Am                        F 
Don't bother it and i'm sure it won't bother us 


C                             Em 
Please don't be upset my darling, 
                    Am     F 
Please don't get upset 


C                      Em 
My baby came riding to meet me one time 
Am                            F 
On the crowed last car of the downtown-bound 9 
C 
She was brave but she caved 
Em 
When the train was delayed 


Am                            F 
It was just the last straw in her hard busy day 
C                       Em 
I said don't get upset 'cus it's not a catastrophe 
Am                      F 
Nothing will happen and soon you'll be back with me 


C                             Em 
Please don't be upset my darling, 
                  Am    F 
Please don't be upset 


C 
My gal's got a headhache, 
Em 
Her ankle is hurting too 
Am                           F 
Boots she bought gave her a rash and her winsdom tooth 
C                      Em                         Am 
Is coming in and it's damp out and she's having cramps 
                      F 
And she's so mad at me cuz i didn't shave 


C                       Em 
I said don't be upset i know you're feeling sensitive 
Am                          F 
  I'll try to be kinder and be more attentive 


C                             Em 
Please don't be upset my darling 
                    Am   F 
Please don't get upset 


C                 Em 
  Darling i said, i'm gonna be 27 soon 
Am                                    F 
I've only got rejection letters and a sense of impending doom 
C 
I think it's too late for me 
Em 
All the comic companies hate me 
Am 
And i try but it's always the same 
F                               C 
I guess my art is just lame and it's strange but  
   Em                Am                      F 
still Somehow i'm always not suiting their needs at this time 


C                Em Am F  
And she said ... 
C                    Em 
"don't be upset, You know that you're wonderful 
Am                    F 
Just keep on trying" and actually what she really said was 


C                     Em 
All you ever wanna talk about is your self 
   Am                         F 
And your comic books and your album and your tour 
   C 
And everytime i see your friends 
                Em                       Am 
They just ask me where you are again and it hurts 

It makes me feel like dirt 
F 
 I'm just gonna write where you are on my shirt 
C                          Em 
And i said don't be upset, don't be in a bad mood 
Am                          F 
Let's just go to a show and hang out and feel good 


        C                              Em 
Come on please don't be upset my darling, 
                    Am 
Please don't be upset, 
                     F

                   C Em Am F  
Just don't be upset.
