🎸 Verse 1:
F                           Bb            F
They could prescribe you any illness you like, if you define the terms of your ailment
                             Bb              C
You could sing a pretty malady like a black canary,  but a crow don't know the smell of carbon monoxide
F                            Bb              F
How many years have you been on that couch? They coulda quilt'd you in the throws by now
                                 Bb          C
You draw a line in the sand, where it ends and you begin, but the tide rolls in, so who knows? Oh, well.

🎸 Chorus 1:
   Bb       C
And a little identity never hurt nobody
Am                Dm
oh but lately you've been focusing too much on yourself
  Bb                     C
So how many milligrams of you are still left in there?
    Bb            C         Am         Dm
‘Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills, and no psychiatrists
      Bb  Am Gm   Dm Bbm  N.C.
No we just drank ourselves to death, and goddammit we liked it

🎸 Verse 2:
F                                Bb
Who makes the call, what's a symptom, what’s a flaw? Could it be both?
             F
Well I suppose that’s an answer
                               Bb                 C
Would you give up your humanity for just a touch of sanity? ‘Cause god knows, it’s not like its cancer!
  F                            Bb        F
And good news to the purist, they discovered a cure for the symptoms of being alive
                             Bb        C
It’s a painless procedure with a low rate of failure, but very few patients survive!

🎸 Chorus 2:
    Bb        C           Am                  Dm
And a little conformity never hurt nobody, but lately I've been worried that you're losing yourself
 Bb                      C
So how many milligrams of you are still left in there?
    Bb            C         Am         Dm
‘Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills, and no psychiatrists
      Bb  Am Gm Dm Bbm
No we just bled out in our baths, and goddammit we liked it

🎸 Bridge:
Dm                 F
Doctor, what's my prognosis if the studies show that
C              F
Disease is in the eye of the beholder
    A7  Bb
Tell me so it goes
        C          Am            Dm
We depress to impress
I guess, in layer after layer to get off our chests
   Gm
It’s cold out now, we can take it off later
C
Better safe than sorry and we both know the dangers
Dm            F
So doctor, could you run another test?
C                  F          A7    Bb
Got a feeling this time I might just pass it, well if you raise the average!
Bb          C           Am            Dm
We all sing when the bell curve rings, in lyrics symptomatic of the way we think
Gm                             C
If our harmonies don't sync, we can change our voices, our chorus unconditional of diagnosis

🎸 Chorus 3:
 Bb            C         Am         Dm
Back in my day we didn't need no feel good pills, and no psychiatrists
Bb              C      Am       Dm
What can I say except don't heed no evil wills of moral nihilists
    Bb          C        A7          Dm
I said back in the days of lobotomies, shock therapies, and mad scientists!
       Bb  Am Gm  Dm Bbm   N.C.
Oh don't you make me waste my breath, and goddammit—

Final 🎸 Verse:
C          F                   Dm
Is your identity at stake? Does aspirin kill you with the pain?
                     G                    C
You're not your thoughts, you're not your brain, you're just that character you've made
               F                  Dm
Up in your head, down in your heart, what seem like separate body parts
            G                C
Just come together to believe they're you, and not just chemistry
             F                  Dm
It’s not the way you were raised, not what the advertisements say
                G                  C
Not what you pay for, what you pray for, what you want or what you say
              Am              F
And I see your tendency to redefine disease by what you need
G                 C
and I'm afraid I can't prescribe the diagnosis that you seek
                Am             F
But something tells me that you need, forgive me now if I misspeak
G
but something tells me that you like, yeah something tells me—
F      G
That you prefer

To be sitting there flipping through those old issues of People
N.C.                         C
Well that's our time, see you same time next week
