[Verse 1]
He said
        Am
"Take a seat over there,
 on the chair
             Caug
by the couch
Tell me what you've
 been thinking about
        G
There's nothing you can
 say that's out of bounds
        D/F#
You can trust me,
swear I'm here
              F
for you now"

I've heard it all before,
Am                   Em
 he took out his pen

But as he wrote down each,
 Am
 each thing that I said
[Pre-Chorus]
Am  Caug
Oh,.....well,
                G
 the mood just changed
D/F#                 F
He started acting strange
      Am
This was our next
      Em    Am
 exchange

[Chorus]

He said
Am
"I'll tell you what,
             Caug
 I'm sorry, but I don't
                G
think I can be.

Of any help, think
              D/F#
 I need help now,"
                       F
is what he said to me.
Might even need it more
         Am                Em
 than me now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up,
        Am
I sent my therapist
to therapy
Am
"I tell you what,
I'm sorry,
  Caug
 but I thought
               G
I'd never see.
A case as bad as yours,
        D/F#
 don't think I have
           F
 a remedy," mm
                    Am
Think he needs help now,
              Em
 oh, the irony
I'm so messed up,
            Am
 I sent my therapist
            Am

[Verse 2]
     Am
So I got up from the
 chair where I sat
             Caug
by the couch
He said to me,
"Could you sit back down?"
    G
And I could see as
I turned around
       D/F#
Really needed someone
                       F
 he could talk to now, said
"Thought that I'd
seen it all,
 Am                     Em
 turns out I was wrong
Wish I could help you out,
Am
 you'll have to be strong"

Am  Caug
Oh,.....well,
               G
 the mood just changed
D/F#                 F
He started acting strange

This was our next exchange

Am
"I'll tell you what,
 I'm sorry,
 Caug                      G
 but I don't think I can be.

Of any help, think I need

                    G
I'm so messed up now.
I'm so messed up,
                D/F#
I'm so messed up, I'm
                   F

[Verse 3]

I went out yesterday to
                        Caug
 get food from the store
And ran into the man
            G
 from before.
                      D/F#
Right by the exit door
                     F
He stopped me to talk
Said that he went to
   Am
 Go and look for
           Em
some help
                      Am
A funny thing happened and
 I said, "Do tell"

[Pre-Chorus]
Am  Caug             G   D/F#
Oh,....and the story is, mm
   F              Am
My doctor found a doctor
         Em             Am
and his doctor told him

[Chorus]
"I'll tell you what,
I'm sorry, but I don't
                 G
 think I can be.
Of any help,
                   D/F#
think I need help now,"
                       F
 is what he said to me.
Might even need it more
         Am                Em
than me now, oh, the irony

I'm so messed up,
            Am
 I sent my therapist
to therapy
Am
"I tell you what,
            Caug
 I'm sorry, but I thought
              G
 I'd never see.

A case as bad as yours,

don't think I have
          F
a remedy," mm
