(Verse 2) - repeat Verse1
Looks like I got to be hot and cold
I got to be taught and told
Got to be good as gold
But perfectly honest
I think it would be good for me
Coz it's a hindrance to my health
I'm a stranger to myself
D9 Am A# Am7/G D9
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Am A11 Am
Bring me to my knees
F/E
Well I must be my own master
G#2 E11/b9 Am Am7 E7/9+
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me
(Verse 3) - repeat Verse1
I don't have to raise my voice
Don't have to be underhand
Just got to understand
That it's gonna be up and down
It's gonna be lost and found
And I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground
(Bridge)

And i need to be patient

And i need to be brave
E11/b9
Need to discover

How i need to behave
F/E
And I'll find out the answers
Gsus E11/b9
When i know what to ask
A/F
But i speak a different language
E7/9+
And everybody's talking too fast
Repeat
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
I've got to run a little faster
I need to know I'll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It could be the death of me
