[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
