[A]
[Em]I've had [Fdim]back pain for [D]most

[Verse 1]
of my life
[F#m]And the most I[E] ever did was
see the [Gm]doc
[D]And the doc [Em]told me [Fdim]that my
back was al[D]right
[F#m]He had in[E]itials in his shirt,
he had a [Gm]nice expensive watch
[D]I thought he knew [Em]what he was doing or
at [Fdim]least what was [F#m]right
He made me [Abdim]fill a piece of paper out
[Gm]with different questions all about
[D]My health,
well[Fdim]being and the state of my [D]life
I'll [G]told the truth,
[D]I'm only lying [A]to myself if I should lie
[D]So, I [Em]answered everything and [Fdim]did my best
to [D]keep it real [G]in between the lines
[D]I gave it [Em]back to him,
he [Fdim]took his time and [D]read the paper [G]over once or twice
[D]He [Em]looked at me as if to [Fdim]say, "I
need [F#m]to tell you something"
[G]"And don't prepare for[Gm] me
to tell you something nice"
[D]He [Em]wanted to know just how
[Fm]much I tend to [F#m]drink and smoke
I [G]told him how [F#m]it was and then he
[F#]gave me this [Bm]ad vice
He said, "Ease up on stress,
you don't [G]help yourself much"
"It's [E]too intense for you to take,
[Gdim]you'll only [Gm]tense up"
[D]"And you see you have these issues
and you [A]struggle to relax"
"So you come see me the doctor
[Bbdim]to get something [F#]for your back"
[Bm]"But this piece of paper tells[A] me that there's
[G]more that you should address"
"I see some anger in you,
plus addiction, [Bm]plus the rest"
[A]"I feel like [G]we should speak about this
'fore it comes first"
"And I know a lot of people who can help,
for what it's worth"
I [D]said, "I don't know [Em]if you don't understand,
man, my [Fdim]back just fucking [D]hurts"
[F#m]Do I need p[E]hysiotherapy? Or
[Gm]is it something worse?
He [D]paused and then he [C]asked me what
[Fdim]I thought we should do
[D]I said, "[G]If I knew that, I[D] wouldn't be here,
[F#]man, I'm asking [Bm]you"
He handed [A]me to someone who
[G]gave me a blood test
Who handed me [C]to someone else who [G]took my payment
and took all of my fuck[G]ing patience
I should add at this point the doctor had
already left
And I resented that man,
I [A]never went back to h[G]im again
[D]But you know,
in a weird [C]way, I feel like maybe [Fdim]he was right[F#m]
I [G]may be using my back pain
[E]to distract from the pain of life
[A]Feel it all externally [F#]when really
it's just inside
[Bm]Pro crastinating, conf[A]rontation,
every [G]single time
[D]So thank you Mr. Doctor
Man, I'm now being sincere
I guess I just didn't wanna hear what I didn't wanna
[D]hear, okay[Em][Fm]
