John Doe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Seems like your heart stops work[D]ing
The minute they close the curtain
[Bm]You take off your mask and
[C]take off your [G]costume
And if anyone asks,
you're taking a smoke break
[D]You're drinking some coffee
But [Bm]everyone knows what
[C]you're [G]doing

[Verse 2]
[G]Seems like the bus moves [D]slower
Just 'cause you got somewhere to go
[Bm]So you take a few pills in B[C]everly H[G]ills
But if [C]anyone asks,
[G]you've got a prescription
[D]You got an addiction
[Bm]Who do you think that
[C]you're fool[G]ing?[C]

[Verse 3]
John [C]Doe
I just want [G]the John I [D]know
Once you put [C]the drinks on hold
Maybe, you [G]could come back [D]home
John Doe
[C]Oh- oh, oh- oh, oh- oh- oh
[G]Oh- oh, oh- oh
[D]Oh- [C]oh, oh- oh,[G] oh- oh- oh
[D]Oh- [G]oh- oh, uh

[Verse 4]
Everybody's addicted [D]to something
Everybody gotta grip onto something
[Bm]Even if it's just to feel the re
[G]sponse of appeal
Maybe once, maybe twice
Maybe hundreds of times,
hundreds of times
Without it, it's just [D]harder
to function at times
You race to the [Bm]bottom
of every single bottle
[G]As if there was someone
or something to find

[Verse 5]
You struggle in your [G]mind and
you tell yourself lie after lie
'Til you [D]get to the point where
it's no longer [Bm]private
The [F#]people that you work with
[Bm]noticed the [G]signs
When you walk in the room,
it gets noticeably quiet
So you break up the silence
[D]You say you've been at the gym[Bm]
But the [F#]way that you look,
can't [Bm]blame on a [G]diet[C]
So what you hiding?

[Verse 6]
John [C]Doe
I just want the [G]John I [D]know
Once you put [C]the drinks on hold
Maybe, you could [G]come back [D]home
John Doe
[C]Oh- oh, oh- oh, oh- oh- oh
[G]Oh- oh, oh- oh
Oh- [D]oh, oh- [C]oh, oh- oh- oh
Oh- [G]oh- [D]oh, yeah

[Verse 7]
I've probably [G]had too many things,
smashed too many freaks
[D]Had too much to dro- , I mean
had too much [Bm]to drink
Left the club, ended up in cus[C]tody
Random drug [G]test, [C]passed it luckily
My girl broke up [G]wit' me
'cause she walked in suddenly
[D]With a woman up under me
I [Bm]told her "Wait,
it ain't what it look [G]like
I must've slipped and fell, clumsy me!"

[Verse 8]
Well, at least I admit it [D]'Cause the
worst you could
do is to do it
And not be man [F#]enough to say
that you [Bm]did i[G]t
That's just how you prevent it
Well I ain't no different,
I love all the money, the fame
And the [D]parties with beautiful women
I [Bm]spent so much time as
an underground artist
'Cause [G]I was afraid to succumb
to the business
And what I'd become

[Verse 9]
But that what you judge, you become [D]The
path with the [Dsus4]greatest
res[D]istance
That's how the [Bm]tables can
turn when they [G]pivot
And change your perspective
and flip your en[C]tire position
[G]My whole life, I've been dying and wishing
To [D]live and experience everything [G]possible
[Bm]When I told 'em my dream[G]s,
they just [C]said "It ain't logical"
[G]Now, I can see it, it's [C]optical[G]
[C]Oh-

[Verse 10]
oh, oh- oh, oh- oh- oh
[G]Oh- oh, oh- oh
[D]Oh- [C]oh, oh- oh, oh- oh- oh
[G]Oh- oh- [D]oh[C]
John Doe
I just want [G]the John I [D]know
Once you put [C]the drinks on hold
Maybe, you [G]could come back [D]home
