[Chorus]
F*
I've been so good
 
I've been helpful and friendly
Am*
I' ve been so good
 
Why am I feeling empty?
            Am*        F*
Gm*
I've been so good
                       F*
I've been so good this year
F*
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
 
*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]
F
I've been so good
 
I've been helpful and friendly
Am
I' ve been so good
 
Why am I feeling empty?
Gm
I've been so good
                       F
I've been so good this year
F
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
 
*4 down strums hold strings*
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                    Am
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 :)
