Dad's Breakdown Chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
I once wrote the reasons for [G]having the

[Verse 1]
[C]nervous breakdown I [G]was [C]proposing to indulge in in one column. The reasons f[G]or not hav[C]ing one were to go in the opposite column. The reasons for having the breakdown were difficult to establish. One of them was: the woman I think I'm in love with- - though I wasn't ent[G]irely sur[C]e that I was- - had just told me she is a lesbian,
and she has fallen in love with her woman psychiatrist. You may well laugh. I certainly did when I wrote it down in my portentous breakdown column. I felt better.
The young woman in question then went [G]on to have [C]af fairs with gay [G]men. I put [C]it all down to [G]her father, who is a retired naval commander who in[C]vested his money in footling [G]projects like selling clip- on car boots which only fitted one mod[C]el of Rover, which was then withdrawn. Then there was her brother,
who had acquired so few life skills that he could [G]only [C]sell the Encyclopedia Britannica to the intellectually challenged.
The right column set reasons for fall[G]ing about [C]laughing as one way of seeing the world,
at least in one- point perspective.
As for shades of grey? Well, I like grey. It's a friendly, [G]comforting [C]colour. And, it was good enough for[G] Gia[C]cometti. I went into Richmond today, and everything looked delightfully grey and[G] muted. Gre[C]y faces smiled at me through the traffic fumes. "I wouldn't swap this paradise for the Bahamas on a balmy day," I said to Ted Evans,
our security officer, a former police officer, and ex- police [D]marksman, [C]who had taken me to Habitat to collect the new, neutral, good- taste [G]light fittings [C]I had chosen for[G] the hallways in [C]King Geo[G]rge Squ[C]are.
