VERSE 1:
         Bm           Em
I'm in a lonely room
                      Bm              Em
Hank Williams sings a lovesick blues
                        Bm
Winter's walking up the avenue
            Em                          G
But I ain't seen the sunshine since the 6th o' June
              A
But I tell ya this

CHORUS:
               Bm
Don't call the doctor
              Em
I'm gonna get better
                  Bm
Don't run for the priest
                    Em     Bm
I'm gonna find some faith
                         Em
Just because I burned my Bible baby
         G                    A
It don't mean I'm too sick to pray

VERSE 2:
         Bm                  Em
I'm in a crowded place yeah
                        Bm           Em 
But I can't recognise a single face
                           Bm
And they say the thrill is in the chase
             Em                                   G
Well I ain't got the legs I ain't got the legs to run that race
              A
But I tell ya this

CHORUS:
               Bm
Don't call the doctor
              Em
I'm gonna get better
                  Bm
Don't run for the priest
                    Em     Bm
I'm gonna find some faith
                         Em
Just because I burned my Bible baby
         G                    A
It don't mean I'm too sick to pray

BRIDGE:
              Bm
Better burn a candle bright
              Em
Raise up some ghosts tonight

     Bm
They say I made my money messing up young minds
Em
Stopped the congregation and I left em all cryin
       Bm
In the rain, yeah left em with their pain
Em
Exit your boy with his ill-gotten gains
         Bm
Well the blood runs deep and the blood runs cold
       Em                               Bm
As the knife slits on another sucker is born

Thrown into this world alone
Em                                        G
Doctor came a'knockin wasn't nobody home

         A
Ease the pain

CHORUS:
               Bm
Don't call the doctor
              Em
I'm gonna get better
                  Bm
Don't run for the priest
                    Em     Bm
I'm gonna find some faith
                         Em
Just because I burned my Bible baby
         G                    A
It don't mean I'm too sick to pray

               Bm
Don't call the doctor
              Em
I'm gonna get better
                  Bm
Don't run for the priest
                    Em     Bm
I'm gonna find some faith
                         Em
Just because I burned my Bible baby
         G              A
It don't mean, it don't mean
