                      I Want To Be Well








Capo 1. The song is in 7/8 and 5/4

G                    Bm       F
To think that I would die this time
          C                        G
Isolated in the room where the bed rises
             D                   A 
Photographic ordinary people are everywhere
F#m                       Dm                  Bm
Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories

F         G      Dm        C 
I’ll find sleep, I’ll find peace
Bm    Dm            Abm       F6
Or in death you’ll sleep with me

G                 Bm     F
To figure that it was my fault
                   C               G
Or so I’ve come to realize life is not about
                   D                   A 
Love with someone, ordinary people are everywhere
F#m                        Dm                   Bm
Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are

F          G         Dm         C 
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn

Bm    Dm            Abm       F6
Illness is watching, waiting its turn

C              E
Did I go at it wrong?
           F          C 
Did I go intentionally to destroy me?
Am               Dbm                      G           E
I’m suffering in noise I’m suffering in (touching ordinary body)

Am                   E                         F        C
The burning from within the burning from with (ordinary hysteria)
Am                Dbm                      G                E
I could not be at rest, I could not be at peace (extraordinary hysteria)

Am               D                      E              C
So do yourself a good, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes
Am               D                       E              C
Or do yourself a favor, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes

Fmaj7  Am        Dm                    G 
Illness likes, to prey upon the lonely, prey upon the lonely
Fmaj7   Am       Dm        2             G 
Wave goodbye, oh, I would rather be, but I would rather be fine

F   G    Dm    C
ooooooooooooooooooooh
Bm   Dm   Abm    F6
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well

I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
Dm

I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
F
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
G9
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well

F
And I forgive you even
 as you choke me that way
Am7/F
With the pill or demon
 and the shrouded shalom
Dm 
Under conversation
in tremendous weight of
C
A crowd of ages outside
dressed for murder

        F 
I’m not fucking around
                          G9
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around

        F

I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
        F 
I’m not fucking around
                          G9 
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around

F
And shall I kiss you even as you take me that way?
Am7/F
With the pill or demon as my body changes
Dm 
Apparitions gone awry they surround me, all sides
C
But from within I see an unholy change
        F
I'm not fucking around
                          G9
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around

        F 
I’m not fucking around
                          Am7/F 
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
        Dm 
I’m not fucking around
                          C 
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
        F 
I’m not fucking around
                          G9 
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
