Chords

Easier version if you transpose down 1 and use a capo on first fret, I just prefer the sound of the bar chords. This song has a walking bassline but these seem to be the stable chords throughout the song.

What, am I normal or not?

Am I crazier than other patients?

Right, I've done everything right

              G#m                              F#
So where's the karma doc, I've lost my patience

N.C. *Weird Cowbell Noises* [Verse]
F#                        A#m
Time, I know we're out of time

           G#m                                   F#
But what if sad thoughts come and I can't stop it

F#                     A#m
Bye, I don't wanna say bye

        G#m                          F#
If only I could keep you in my pocket
[Ending]
           B
To give me some diagnosis of why I'm so hollow

          A#m
Please give me instructions, I promise I'll follow

  G#m
I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow

    F#
But doesn't that mean that the tour's gonna sell though?

  B
I try to explain the good faith that's been wasted

      A#m
But after an hour it sounds like complaining

      G#m
Wait, don't go away, can I lie here forever

       F#
You say that I'm better, why don't I feel better?

    D#m                  C#
The universe works in mysterious ways

          B                         F#/A#
But I'm starting to think it ain't working for me

          G#m
Doctor, should I be good?
N.C. Should I be good this year?
