Weird Cowbell Noises
[Verse]
F# A#m
What, am I normal or not?
G#m F#
Am I crazier than other patients?
F# A#m
Right, I’ve done everything right
G#m F#
So where’s the karma doc, I’ve lost my patience
[Chorus]

‘Cause I’ve been so good, I’ve been working my ass off
A#m
I’ve been so good, still, I’m lonely and stressed out

Weird Cowbell Noises*
[Verse]
F# A#m
Time, I know we’re out of time
G#m F#
But what if sad thoughts come and I can’t stop it
F# A#m
Bye, I don’t wanna say bye
G#m F#
If only I could keep you in my pocket
[Ending]
B
To give me some diagnosis of why I’m so hollow
A#m
Please give me instructions, I promise I’ll follow
G#m
I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow
F#
But doesn’t that mean that the tour’s gonna sell though?
B
I try to explain the good faith that’s been wasted
A#m
But after an hour it sounds like complaining
G#m
Wait don’t go away, can I lie here forever
F#
You say that I’m better, why don’t I feel better?
B
The universe works in mysterious ways
A#m
But I’m starting to think it ain’t working for me
G#m
Doctor, should I be good?
F#
Should I be good this year?
