🎸 Verse 1:
A
All of us we're always trying to catch up
A
Call just to let me know what you think
A

How is this never quite enough
A
Lost and always trying to get back, can we get back?


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


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


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


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


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