[Intro]
A D A
D A D A D [Verse]
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 Oh, call the doctor and
G A
the doctor came in F#m A She said, "Where does it hurt?
You know
G A
there's a pill for most everything" F#m A Close your eyes, open wide, and
G A
we'll make you smile again F#m A Some people believe in ghosts and
G A E
some believe in aliens E Just wish I could
crawl out of the skin
A
I'm living in D A Bm Crawl out of my mind into the outside A E Nobody could reach me [Chorus] If you could crawl out of the
A
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]
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 But remember all the things that
G A
used to be real F#m A Things to help you believe
G
'cause you wanna
A
make sense of everything F#m A Then there's the first time you
G
crack and you think,
A
"Everyone's laughing at me" F#m A All at once, you're a ghost,
G A
you're some kind of alien [Chorus]
E Just wish I could crawl out of
A
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 If you could crawl out of the skin
A
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 [Solo]
A F#m [Chorus]
E Just wish I could crawl out of the
A
skin I'm living in D A Bm Out of my mind into the outside A E Nobody could reach me If you could crawl out of the skin
A
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 It's the only thing [Outro]
A D A D A D A The only thing
