[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F][G][F][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[G]A system in the [F]making,
Self- [G]healing for the [F]blind,
[E]Sitting in the waiting- room
Of [F]the patient [Dm]mind;
[G]Raging at the [F]illness
When the [G]rage may be [F]its cause,
[E]The purpose of the will is lost
In the search [Em]for an e[F]scape [Dm]clause,
[F]In the sea[Dm]rch for an esc[E]ape
clause.
[F][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[G]Fatal con[F]valescence,
[Gsus4]The wound be[G]comes [F]a weal;
[E]The poison is in essence just
The [F]virus of the real.
But [Dm]there's [G]sympathetic [F]healing,
[G]The power of the [F]soul [E]bandages,
Concealing all that [F]we can't control,
[Dm]All [F]that we [Dm]can'[E]t[F][Dm]
[E]con[Em]trol.[E][Em][E]

[Verse 3]
[E]Waiting for the doctor to come.
Waiting for the doctor [Em]to co[F]me[E].
[Am]Waiting [E]for the doctor [Am]to come.
Waiting [E]for the [Em]doctor to [F]come.[E]
[F][G][F]

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][G][F][G][F]

[Verse 4]
[G]A system in the [F]making,
Self- [G]healing for the [F]blind,
[E]Sitting in the waiting- room
Of the [F]pa [Dm]tient [F]mind...[Dm]
But there [G]isn't any [F]answer
The conscious[G]ness [F]can quote
When the [E]loaded dice of
chance are there,
[F]Rattling [Dm]in the thro[F]at,[Dm]
[E]Rattling in the throat.

[Interlude 2]
[F][Am][E]

[Verse 5]
[E]Waiting for the doctor [Em]to co[E]me.
[Em]Waiting [E]for the doctor to come.
[Em]Waiting for the doctor [E]to come.
Waiting for the doc[Em]tor to [E]come.

[Verse 6]
You [G]put your faith [F]in others;
[Gsus4]The fear [G]could not [F]be worse,
But [E]Nature's not your mother now,
Just [F]your suckling nurse.
There [G]isn't any [F]doctor,
There [G]isn't any [F]cure...
That [E]might come as a shock to you,
But can [F]you [Dm]really [F]be so [Dm]sure?
Can [E]you really be so sure?
[F]

[Interlude 4]
[Dm][E][F][G]
[Dm]Can you

[Verse 7]
[E]really be sure?
