Verse 1:
G#m                     Bbm
  Spend the day in your bed taking medicine
G#m                        Bbm
  If that's the only thing that keeps you calm
G#m                 Bbm                   B
  Well one of these days you've gotta get up
        C# Bb/D
And get out
G#m                      Bbm 
  There is a purpose for all of my sitting here
G#m                  Bbm
  If you can't understand well you could
G#m                  Bbm
  If you could just stretch your attention span
B             C#  Ebm
Now, for this song


Refrain:
Ebm G#/C B          C#               Ebm   
  I hope  that this is what you will want
         G#/C  B            C#             Ebm
Cause my throat will be the first thing to go
      G#/C B          C#            Ebm  B   C#
And I hope  that some day I'll hear everyone say


Chorus 1:
   B               F#                           B
Is that all you've got turn it up keep it coming
      B            F#                             B
Cause I've got the words to keep the birds humming
             G#m
Well there's gotta be something
        Ebm                C#/F
There's gotta be something wrong
             G#m
Well there's gotta be something
        Ebm                C#/F
There's gotta be something wrong


Interlude: G#m-Bbm (x3) B-C#-Bb/D


Verse 2:
G#m                      Bbm
  Spend your life with a pen and a microphone
G#m                   Bbm
  You wrote down everything that you could
G#m                Bbm  
  In case somebody gives them a second glance
B            C#  Bb/D
Now for this long


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1)
