[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 F 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,
F 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 F Dm
‘Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills, and no psychiatrists
F Bbm N.C.
No we just drank ourselves to death, and goddammit we liked it
[Short instrumental]
F A7 Bb Dm Gm Bb F
F A7 Bb Dm Gm Bb F
[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 some kind of 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 F 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 F Dm
‘Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills, and no psychiatrists
F Bbm N.C.
No we just bled out in our baths, and goddammit we liked it
[Instrumental]
F A7 Bb Dm Gm Bb F

[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
Dm Gm
Doctor, what's my prognosis if the studies show that
C F
Diease 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 F
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 F Dm
Back in my day we didn't need no feel good pills, and no psychiatrists
Bb C F Dm
What can I say except don't heed no evil wills of moral nihilists
Bb C A Dm
I said back in the days of lobotomies, shock therapies, and mad scientists!
Bbm N.C.
Oh don't you make me waste my breath, and goddammit—
[Instrumental solo]
F A7 Bb Dm Gm Bb F
[Piano Riff]
[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
F Dm
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
F Dm
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—
N.C.
That you prefer
N.C.
To be sitting there flipping through those old issues of People
N.C.
Okay thats our time, see you same time next week
