I've been so good
I've been helpful and friendly

I' ve been so good
Why am I feeling empty?

I've been so good this year

I've been so good
But it's still getting harder

I've been so good
Where the hell is the karma?
Gm*
I've been so good
F*
I've been so good this year
*4 down strums hold strings*
[Verse 1]
F Am
Why are you asking me why?
Gm F**
My days and nights are filled with disappointment
Am
Fine, oh, no, everything's fine
Gm F
I'm not sure why I booked today's appointment
[Chorus]

I've been so good
I've been helpful and friendly

I' ve been so good
Why am I feeling empty?

I've been so good
Where the hell is the karma?

What? Am I normal or not?
Gm F**
Am I crazier than other patients?
Am
Right, I've done everything right
Gm F
So where's the karma, Doc? I've lost my patience
[Chorus]
F*
Cause I've been so good
F*
I've been working my ass off
Am*
I've been so good
Am*
Still, I'm lonely and stressed out
Gm*
I've been so good
F*
I've been so good this year
F
And I've been so good
But it's still getting harder
Am
I've been so good
Where the hell is the karma?
Gm
I've been so good
F
I've been so good this year
[Bridge]
F Am
Ah, ah, ah
Gm F
Ah, ah, ah
F Am
Ah, ah, ah
Gm F
Ah, ah, ah
*hold strings, play strumming pattern twice*
[Outro]
F* Am*
Time, I know we're out of time
Am Abm Gm* F*
But what if sad thoughts come and I can't stop it?
F* Am*
Bye, I don't wanna say bye
Am Abm Gm* F*
If on-ly I could keep you in my pocket
Bb*
To give me some diagnosis of why I'm so hollow
F/A*
Please give me instructions, I promise I'll follow
Bb*
I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow
F/A*
But doesn't that mean that the tour's gonna sell, though?
Bb*
I try to explain the good faith that's been wasted
F/A*
But after an hour, it sounds like complaining
Bb*
Wait, don't go away, can I lie here forever?
F/A* A*
You say that I'm better, why don't I feel better?
Dm* C*
The universe works in mysterious ways
Bb* F/A*
But I'm starting to think it ain't working for me
Gm*
Doctor, should I be good, should I be good this year?

This is great, HOWEVER, I’ve noticed that a regular G chord instead of a Gm actually sounds better and goes with the song better :)
