Never Relaxed Chords & Lyrics - Daniel Johnston

INTRO (Spoken)

Now without any further ado I'm gonna do a little talk shoe (???) and a little boogaloo. For you.
If you want me to. I will. WILL.

( [C] ) [C] [G] [C]
There was this kid named Syd and he was born
[C]Maybe the doctor [G]hit him a little too [C]hard
[C]He just [F]seemed to have gotten off to a [C]bad start
[C]Never relaxed, never rel[G]axed, never re[C]laxed

[C]Big brothers and big [G]sisters 'came lots of at[C]tention
[C]But Syd was a [G]hyperactive [C]kid
[C]He just [F]never seemed able to sit [C]still
[C]Never relaxed, never rel[G]axed, never rel[C]axed
[C]Never rel[F]a-a-a-a-[C]a-a-a-a-axed
[C]Never relaxed, never rel[G]axed, never rel[C]axed

[C]Unlike the other [G]kids on his [C]block
[C]Syd never le[G]arned how to [C]walk
[C]He just [F]ran around acting [C]nervous
[C]Never relaxed, never re[G]laxed, never rel[C]axed

[C]He sat in s[G]chool in [C]detention
[C]Drawing funny p[G]ictures on the w[C]all
[C]Not a [F]moment of peace did Syd ever [C]find
[C]Never relaxed, never rel[G]axed, never rel[C]axed
[C]Never rela[F] -a-a-a-a-a-[C]a-a-axed
[C]Never relaxed, never rel[G]axed, never rel[C]axed

[C]Now when Syd disc[G]overed mastur[C]bation
[C]He just couldn't k[G]eep a good thing [C]down

[C]But it [F]didn't help much his cond[C]ition
[C]Never relaxed, never re[G]laxed, never rel[C]axed

[C]Syd signed [G]up for the [C]army
[C]'Cause he got tired of [G]working in the [C]pottery
[C]And they [F]sent him over to a foreign [F]country
[C]Never relaxed, never re[G]laxed, never rel[C]axed

[C]Syd met this [G]girl in East [C]Germany
[C]And she invited him up to her r[G]oom for some [C]tea
[C]Then she [F]pulled out a gun and took his [C]money
[C]Never relaxed, never re[G]laxed, never rel[C]axed

[C]She shot [G]Syd through the [C]head
[C]And Syd [G]died and went to [C]hell
And he [F]burned and he burned and he [C]yelled
"[C]I never been relaxed, never re[G]laxed, never rel[C]axed"

[C]Now the Devil s[G]aid "This ain't [C]fair
[C]'Cause people who come [G]here have had their share of [C]comfort"
[C]So he s[F]at Syd in a reclining [C]chair
[C]But it [G]was an electric [C]chair
[C]Never rel[F]a-a-a-a-[C]a-a-a-a-axed
[C]Never relaxed, never [G]relaxed, never re[C]laxed [G] [C]
