[Intro]

B5 D5 E5 F#5 E5 D5 B5 D5 E5 F#5 E5 D5

[Verse]

B5 D5

They told me that the wiring

E5 F#5 E5 D5

Was somehow all mis-fir-ing

B5 D5 E5 F#5 E5 D5

And screwing up the signals in my brain

A5 B5 D5

And then they told me chemistry

E5 F#5 E5 D5

The juice and not the circuitry

B5 D5 A5 B5

Was mixing up and making me in-sane

[Chorus]

Em C9

What happens when the burn has healed

Bm D

But the skin has not regrown?

Em Bm/D C D/C C

What happens when the cast, at last, comes off

Am7 Bm7/A Am7

And then you find the break

F#5 A5 B5

Was always in another bone?

C#5 B5 A5 F#5 A5 E5 F#5

[Verse]

B5 D5

They tried a million meds and

E5 F#5 E5 D5

They strapped me to their beds and

B5 D5

They shrugged and told me,

E5 F#5 E5 D5

"That's the way it goes"

A5 B5 D5

But finally you hit it!

E5 F#5 E5 D5

I asked you just what did it

B5 D5 A5 B5

You shrugged and said that no one really knows

[Chorus]

Em C9 Bm D

What happens if the medicine wasn't really in control?

Em Bm/D C D/C C

What happens if the cut, the burn, the break

Am7 Bm7/A Am7

Was never in my brain

F#sus F#

Or in my blood, but in my soul?

[Outro]

Em Gmaj9/D C9

What happens if the cut, the burn, the break

Am7

Was never in my brain

F#m7 E9/G# Asus

Or in my blood, but in my soul?

F#m7 E9/G# Asus
