Coping Mechanism

G C G

                          C     
I’ve got to find a better coping 
             G
mechanism
                          C        
I’m falling apart, disintegrating 
               G
in the schism
                D               C
Is it a show or is it realism
                              G    
Lost and found and then I was 
     C      G
locked up in a prison

                     C       
I better find a more suitable 
            G
solution
                           C       
Before I reach the most predictable
              G
 conclusion
                       D       
To be the victim of my personal 
            C
delusion
                            G      
Just to find that I’ve been living 
C    G
an illusion

G                                 
They say there’s just no 
          C
substitute for the real thing
                              G    
The kind of chemical that can make 
     C          G
your whole body sing
                 D                 
You can take the needle and shove 
          D7
it in your vein
                G         C       
And call it medication to 
      G
alleviate you pain

I do my best to keep the confusion 
               G
to a minimum
                       C         
I’ll try not to be the monster of 
                  G
the millennium
Someday they’ll thank us for the 
D                            C
hell that we was givin’ em
When all of this time we just hope 
        G     C      G
we were borderline offendin’ em

G                                 
They say there’s just no 
          C
substitute for the real thing
                              G    
The kind of chemical that can make 
     C          G
your whole body sing
                     D           
Scrub it till you’re bleedin’ but 
                         D7
you can’t scrub out the stain
                      G         
Leave your mouth wide open while 
        C               G      Em
you’re drowning in the rain

                 G               
Put your head down, wipe the spit 
                Em
out your eye
                            G      
Ain’t nobody coming to your poor me
          Em
 parade
                              G
When trouble comes to your door, 
what you ignoring it for
          A                      
You’ll be standing there helpless 
         D
when it comes on in

D                                 
They say there’s just no 
          C
substitute for the real thing
                             G   
The kind of chemical that’ll make 
      C          G
your whole body sing
                  D             
You can test your merit, you can 
                 D7
show it some restraint
But in the end you’re just a 
G       C     G
predictable refrain

                           C
Oh, ain’t nothing like the real 
thing
                             G   
The kind of chemical that’ll make 
      C          G
your whole body sing
                  D             
You can test your merit, you can 
                 D7
show it some restraint
But in the end you’re just a 
G       C     G
predictable refrain

             C              G
While you’re poison in your brain 
(Cause you’re heart has been 
mislain)
           C                  G
But you’re gonna die just the same 
(For a dream you could not attain)
          C              G
Cause you drove yourself insane (And
 there’s nobody left to blame)
            C           G
So you just carry on an complain
     C               G
Till you forget your name
