D MajorD



🎸 Verse 1:
A augmentedA
All of us we're always trying to catch up
A augmentedA
Call just to let me know what you think
A augmentedA
How is this never quite enough
A augmentedA
Lost and always trying to get back, can we get back?

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
F# minorF#m     A augmentedA       G+G      A augmentedA
Oh, call the doctor and the doctor came in
      F# minorF#m      A augmentedA            G+G       A augmentedA
She said, "Where does it hurt? You know there's a pill for most everything"
F# minorF#m    A augmentedA          G+G       A augmentedA
Close your eyes, open wide, and we'll make you smile again
F# minorF#m      A augmentedA          G+G        A augmentedA  E MajorE
Some people believe in ghosts and some believe in aliens
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
        D MajorD  A augmentedA      B minorBm
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
 A augmentedA        E MajorE
Nobody could reach me


🎸 Chorus:
                         A augmentedA
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
        D MajorD     A augmentedA     B minorBm
Like some kinda love just opened you up
A augmentedA         E MajorE
You know when you feel it
G+G       A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
It's the only thing


🎸 Verse 2:
G+G A augmentedA
Oh, don't you feel like you're trying to catch up
A augmentedA
Fear makes you jump a little too quick
A augmentedA
Time, do we know when it's too late
A augmentedA
Always trying to get it back, trying to get it back

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
  F# minorF#m   A augmentedA          G+G     A augmentedA
But remember all the things that used to be real
F# minorF#m    A augmentedA              G+G          A augmentedA
Things to help you believe 'cause you wanna make sense of everything
F# minorF#m       A augmentedA              G+G         A augmentedA
Then there's the first time you crack and you think, "Everyone's laughing at me"
F# minorF#m  A augmentedA              G+G      A augmentedA
All at once, you're a ghost, you're some kind of alien


🎸 Chorus:
E MajorE                         A augmentedA
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
        D MajorD  A augmentedA      B minorBm
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
 A augmentedA      E MajorE
I just want to feel it
                         A augmentedA
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
        D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Find some kinda love to open you up
  A augmentedA       E minorEm
You know when you feel it
G+G       A augmentedA
It's the only thing
