Standard (EADGBE)
I look for joy in a strange place, from the back of a bar, from afar
I see the look on my mommas face, when her sons in the corner, undone
She says that my life is over: Boy, you dont know what you got,
till its gone. Come, put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand, but I ignored her
Chorus
Oh, doctor John, what am I doing, what am I doing wrong?
cause I keep on trying, but something aint going, something aint going on
Doctor John
I look for joy in a strange place, in the back of a bar, from afar
I see the look on my daddys face, when his sons falling over, undone
Father, my life is over, I didnt know what I had, now its gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder? If I fall asleep, will it be over?
Chorus
Oh, doctor John, what am I doing, what am I doing wrong?
cause I keep on trying, but something aint going, something aint going on
You say Im a big heart breaker, but doctor I never hurt ya, isnt it obvious?
Chorus
Oh, doctor John, what am I doing, what am I doing wrong?
cause I keep on trying, but something aint going, something aint going on
Another day, another break-up (Oh, doctor John)
We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on
Another day, another wake up (I keep on trying)
We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on
Another day, another break-up (Oh, doctor John)
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong? (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
Cuz I
(Another day, another wake up (I keep on trying))
But something aint going, something aint going on (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
(Another day, another break-up (Oh, doctor John))
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong?! (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
Cuz I.. (Another day, another wake up (I keep on trying))
But something aint going, something aint going on (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
Doctor John Ooh
Doctor John
