Chords

[Intro] C F C F [Verse 1]
     C               F
If I could do what I want

          C           F
I would become an electrician

    C               F
I'd climb inside my ears

            Dm            F           C
And I would rearrange the wires in my brain

            F             C             F
A different me would be inhabiting this body

         C             F
I'd have two cars, a garage, a job

    Dm            F
And I would go to church on Sunday

C     F             C
A diagram of faulty circuitry

  F                C
Explains how I was made

            F           Dm
And now the engineer is listening

     F               C
As I voice all my complaints

        F            Dm            F           C
From an orchestra of shaking metal keeping me awake

           F                    Dm           F             C
I was just wondering if there's any way that you made a mistake
[Interlude] F C F C F Dm F [Chorus 1]
          Dm                          F
Because I miss you the way that I miss nicotine

      Dm                           F
If it makes me feel better, how bad could it be?

       Dm                      F
Well I heard there's a fix for everything

      Dm                  F
Then why, then why, then why

              C
Then why not me?
[Interlude] F Dm F [Verse]
C          F             C           F
The 1st of April saw the sickening repair

        C                 F          Dm           F
Wore my best shirt to the clinic decorated with a laminate name

C         F                C           F               C
No one is laughing from an audience of folding plastic chairs

      F                     Dm                  F      C
And I'm not fooled when you tell me that you're glad I came

     F           C             F
Am I honest to admit or just a hypocrite?

  C                F         Dm             F              C
I know I should be being optimistic but I'm doubtful I can change

        F          C           F
Grit my teeth and try to act deserving

       C             F             Dm
When I know there is nowhere I can hide

            F         C
From your humiliating grace
[Interlude] F C F C F Dm F [Chorus 2]
               Dm
Because if you swear that it's true

       F
Then I have to believe

       Dm                   F
What I hear evangelicals say on TV

       Dm                        F
And if there's enough left after everyone else

     Dm                    F
Then why, then why, then why

         C      F
Why noooot meeeee?
[Outro] Dm F
