Not The Doctor Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]I don't want to be the filler
if the void is solely yours
I don't want to be your glass
of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer and
[E]I don't want to be a bandage
if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
[E]I don't want to be adored
for what I merely represent to you
I don't want to be your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
[E]I don't want to be your mother
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months

[Chorus 1]
Show me the back door
[C]Visiting hours are [D]nine to five
and if I [E]show up at ten past six
Well, [C]I already k[D]now that
you'd find [E]some way to sneak me in and oh
[C]Mind the empty bot[D]tle
with the [E]holes along the bottom
You see [F#m]it's too much to ask for
and [D]I am not the doctor

[Interlude 1]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 2]
[E]I don't want to be the sweeper
of the egg shells that you walk upon
And I don't want to be your other half,
I believe that one and one make two
[E]I don't want to be your food
or the light from the fridge on your face
At midnight, hey
What are you hungry for?
[E]I don't want to be the glue
that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high
and I'm afraid of heights
[E]I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion

[Chorus 2]
Please open the window
[C]Visiting hours are [D]nine to five
and if I [E]show up at ten past six
Well, [C]I already k[D]now that
you'd find [E]some way to sneak me in and oh
[C]Mind the empty bot[D]tle
with the [E]holes along the bottom
You see [F#m]it's too much to ask for
and [D]I am not the doctor

[Interlude 2]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 3]
[E]I don't want to live on someday
when my motto is last week
And I,
I don't want to be responsible
for your fractured heart
And its wounded beat and
[E]I don't want to be a substitute
for the smoke you've been inhaling
Well, what do you thank me

[Chorus 3]
What do you thank me for?
[C]Visiting hours are [D]nine to five
and if I [E]show up at ten past six
Well, [C]I already k[D]now that
you'd find [E]some way to sneak me in and oh
[C]Mind the empty bot[D]tle
with the [E]holes along the bottom
You see [F#m]it's too much to ask for
and [D]I am not the doctor

[Outro 1]
