B minorBm E minorEm
I'm in a lonely room
B minorBm E minorEm
Hank Williams sings a lovesick blues
B minorBm
Winter's walking up the avenue
E minorEm G+G
But I ain't seen the sunshine since the 6th o' June
A augmentedA
But I tell ya this
B minorBm
Don't call the doctor
E minorEm
I'm gonna get better
B minorBm
Don't run for the priest
E minorEm B minorBm
I'm gonna find some faith
E minorEm
Just because I burned my Bible baby
G+G A augmentedA
It don't mean I'm too sick to pray
B minorBm
I'm in a crowded place yeah
E minorEm
But I can't recognise a single face
B minorBm
And they say the thrill is in the chase
E minorEm G+G
Well I ain't got the legs I ain't got the legs to run that race
A augmentedA
But I tell ya this
B minorBm
Don't call the doctor
E minorEm
I'm gonna get better
B minorBm
Don't run for the priest
E minorEm B minorBm
I'm gonna find some faith
E minorEm
Just because I burned my Bible baby
G+G A augmentedA
It don't mean I'm too sick to pray
B minorBm
Better burn a candle bright
E minorEm
Raise up some ghosts tonight
B minorBm
They say I made my money messing up young minds
E minorEm
Stopped the congregation and I left em all cryin
B minorBm
In the rain, yeah left em with their pain
E minorEm
Exit your boy with his ill-gotten gains
B minorBm
Well the blood runs deep and the blood runs cold
E minorEm B minorBm
As the knife slits on another sucker is born
Thrown into this world alone
E minorEm G+G
Doctor came a'knockin wasn't nobody home
A augmentedA
Ease the pain
B minorBm
Don't call the doctor
E minorEm
I'm gonna get better
B minorBm
Don't run for the priest
E minorEm B minorBm
I'm gonna find some faith
E minorEm
Just because I burned my Bible baby
G+G A augmentedA
It don't mean I'm too sick to pray
B minorBm
Don't call the doctor
E minorEm
I'm gonna get better
B minorBm
Don't run for the priest
E minorEm B minorBm
I'm gonna find some faith
E minorEm
Just because I burned my Bible baby
G+G A augmentedA
It don't mean, it don't mean
B minorBm E minorEm
I'm too sick to pray
B minorBm E minorEm
