Verse:
Dmin
Listen doctor I have pain
Amaj
that grows inside myself
Dmin
shelf me please

I just can’t ease the pain
Amaj
I need some drugs to help
     Dmin
ah pollution fills my lungs
          Amaj
and convolution fills my mind
       Dmin
ah my legs do ache
     Amaj
I  contemplate
Dmin     DMin         Amaj
that living’s less than fine
              Dmin
my spine does tingle

when I think of being
Amaj
freed from this curse
             Dmin
but what is worse I feel

life is a bubble
Amaj
blown until it’s burst
     Dmin
oh doctor I am desperate
        Amaj
to get rid of this feeling
    Dmin    DMin
oh doctor I am desperate
Amaj Amaj Amaj
for some good soul healing

     Dmin
The doctor turned and gave a grin
     Amaj
and reached into his bag
     Dmin
but instead of an injection
        Amaj
got a record with a tag
         Dmin
that said listen to this daily
         Amaj
with hip shaking and such things
        Dmin
then he puts the record in
  E
grabs a mic and starts to sing

you need some

Chorus:
Amaj Dmaj Emaj times lots :)
One four five

to make you high to make you high

to make you high to make you high

when heaven falling from the sky

to make you high to make you high


Verse (continue same chords)
Doct or I am feeling better
what was that you sang
did you write it or recite it
or just steal it from a band
ah my bones are feeling stronger
and my spirit’s feeling fresh
ah that dose of 145 has put the life
back in my breath
‘yes yes yes’ the doctor said
then he sat me down and say
‘young man don’t think I wrote
these chords they’re written in
your brain’
and when you hear them
there’s a shakedown that begins within
the mind
cos these three chords make people
feeling better all the time ah
they keep repeating
like a scratch on a cd
but it’s quality cos these three harmonies
breed positivity
protecting against insanity
of modern insecurities
believe me when I tell you
all you need is to be hearing all that

Chorus
One four five
to make you high to make you high
to make you high to make you high
when they said what and you said why
to make you high to make you high

Verse
The doctor turned and gave a grin
and reached into his bag
but instead of an injection
got a record with a tag
that said listen to this daily
with hip shaking and such things
then he puts the record in
grabs a mic and starts to sing
you need some

Chorus

One four five
to make you high to make you high
when you could not count to pi
when you’re told you can’t fly
to make you high to make you high
times like these you need some
One four five .... hhhuuummnn
