Dispite the fact that this song is all barre chords and that might scare off
some begginers, this is a very easy song to play. This is based off of the
youtube clip:

I also believe this is how the guitar is played when ever they perform it
live. If you have any problems with the strumming pattern or the beat of the
song, please refer to the video I provided. Also, when you've made your
final judgement on the tab, please rate and leave a comment.

Chorus:
Cm Ab
Im about to lose my mind
Bb
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
Ab
I need a doctor
F
Call me a doctor
G7
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Verse 1:
Cm
I told the World one day I would pay it back
Ab
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
Bb
But I don't even know if I would leave it when I'm saying that
Ya'll start to creep in, everyday its so grey and black
Ab
Hope I just need a ray of that
F
Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for em
They just say its wack
G7
They don't know what dope is
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
When I wrote this,
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
Cm
You picked me up, breeding life in me
I owe my life to you
Ab
Before the life of me, I dont see why you dont see like I do
Bb
But it just dawned on me you lost a son
See this light in you, it's dark. let me turn on the lights and brigthen
me and lighten you
Ab
I dont think you realise what you mean to me
Not the slightest clue
F
Cause me and you were like a crew
I was like your sidekick
G7
You gonna either wanna fight me when I get off this mic
Or you gonna hug me
But I'm not an option, theres nothing else I can do cause...
Chorus:
Cm Ab
Im about to lose my mind
Bb
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
Ab
I need a doctor
F
Call me a doctor
G7
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Verse 2:
Cm
It hurts when I see you struggle
You come to me with ideas
Ab
You say there pieces so I'm puzzled
Bb
Cause what I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Ab
Cant make a decision keep questioning yourself
F
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
G7
Like I'm your leader
Your susposed to be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
Cm Ab
It was YOU, who believed in me When everyone was telling you dont sign me
Everyone at the label, lets tell the truth
Bb
You risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
No one wanted to mess with the white girl
Thats why I'm crying in this booth
Ab
You saved my life, now maybe its my time to save yours
F
But I can never repay you what you did for me is way more
G7
But I aint giving up faith and you aint giving up on me
Get up now, I'm dying I need you, come back for heavens sake
Chorus:
Cm Ab
Im about to lose my mind
Bb
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
Ab
I need a doctor
F
Call me a doctor
G7
I need a doctor, doctor
Cm
To bring me back to life
Ab Bb
Bring me back to life
Ab
Bring me back to life
F
Oooooooooooooh
G7
I need a doctor, doctor
N.C.
To bring me back to life
And that should be that for Karmin's cover of I Need A Doctor. I do
apologize if some of the chords don't match up exactly with the lyrics.
