A is often with 3rd in bass (0)422xx apart from chorus 
I mean you can also play it x022 at times and the a:4 could be part of a d-chord also




A                    D             A...  
i am a scientist - i seek to understand me
all of my impurities and evils yet unknown
i am a journalist - i write to you to show you
i am an incurable             
                              E (0799xx)          fill with tones 6 (c#),7 (d) and 1 (e)      
and nothing else behaves like me                  d:11 g:7 g:9  from E powerchord


A (577)                                           adding the g string's fine too
       and i know what's right
G (355)
       but i'm losing sight
              E (022)           D (x577)
       of the clues for which i search and choose
            E
       to abuse
                 b                                
       to just unlock my mind
                 E              A
       yeah, and just unlock my mind


i am a pharmacist
prescriptions i will fill you
potions, pills and medicines
to ease your painful lives
i am a lost soul
i shoot myself with rock & roll
the hole i dig is bottomless
but nothing else can set me free                  same fill also one octave higher b:2,3 e:0

and i know what's right
but i'm losing sight
of the clues for which i search and choose
to abuse
to just unlock my mind
yeah, and just unlock my mind


A
i am a scientist - i seek to understand me
                                                D (10-12-12-11-xx)
i am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me



           D/C# (9-12-12-11)
     everything is right
D               A  
     everything works out right
Dsus2           A
     everything fades from sight
             E                   A              A     D D A
     because that's alright with me
