A5                     C5         G5          E5
I look for joy in a strange place, from the back of a bar, from afar
                        A5                   C5             G5       E5
I see the look on my momma?s face, when her son?s in the corner, undone
                  A5          D5    C#5           B5       
She says that my life is over: ?Boy, you don?t know what you got, 
            E5                    A5                 B5
?till it?s gone. Come, put your head upon my shoulder?
                 E5
She gave me her hand, but I ignored her

Chorus:
A5   E5  A5      D5  C#5 B5            E5
Oh, doctor John, what am I doing, what am I doing wrong?
       A5  E5  A5        D5  C#5   B5                     E5                  A5 
?cause I keep on trying, but something ain?t going, something ain?t going on
C5           G5     E5
   Doctor John

                       A5                  C5         G5          E5
I look for joy in a strange place, in the back of a bar, from afar
                      A5                     C5            G5        E5
I see the look on my daddy?s face, when his son?s falling over, undone
             A5          D5  C#5  B5                            E5
?Father, my life is over, I didn?t know what I had, now it?s gone
               A5                    B5               E5        
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder? If I fall asleep, will it be over??

Chorus:
A5  E5 A5       D5 C#5 B5              E5
Oh, doctor John, what am I doing, what am I doing wrong?
       A5  E5  A5     D5 C#5 B5              E5                                  
?cause I keep on trying, but something ain?t going, something ain?t going on

              A5               G5               C5         B5          E5
You say I?m a big heart breaker, but doctor I never hurt ya, isn?t it obvious?

Chorus:
A5  E5   A5      D5  C#5 B5              E5
Oh, doctor John, what am I doing, what am I doing wrong?

Another day, another break-up (Oh, doctor John)
        E5
We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on
A5 E5 A5                                          D5  C#5 B5

                              E5                    
But something ain?t going, something ain?t going on? (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
