Intro:
G/C D/B A Asus4 A
 
VERSE 1:
G/C             D/B
  The sun is a light bulb
 
A            Asus4     A
 A candle's a treat
 
G/C                        D/B
  The curtains stay closed now
 
A            Asus4    A
 On my little retreat
 
G/C                 D/B
 And I'll only take medicine
 
A                    Asus4   A
 If it's followed by sweets
 
G/C             D/B
 A sickly pink liquid
 
A                Asus4     A
 That puts me to sleep
 
CHORUS 1:
A Dsus2 C5 | A Dsus2 BB5
 
A Dsus2  C5
        My head beats a better way
 
A Dsus2  BB5
        Tomorrow a better day
 
VERSE 2:
G/C                D/B
 And I can watch TV
 
A
 While I'm wrapped up in bed
 
G/C                    D/B
 And mother makes sure that
 
A
 I'm watered and fed
 
G/C                  D/B
 My best from school will
 
A
 Come over and stare
 
G/C          D/B
 At me in my bubble
 
A
 Of germified air
 
CHORUS 2:
A Dsus2  C5
        My head beats a better way
 
A Dsus2  BB5
        Tomorrow a better day
 
BRIDGE 1:
Dsus2               BB           A
 When I'm asleep the smoke fills me

 I feel the heat, my illness leaves me

VERSE 3/ OUTRO:
G/C             D/B
  The sun is a light bulb
 
A            Asus4     A
 A candle's a treat
 
G/C                        D/B
  The curtains stay closed now
 
A            Asus4    A
 On my little retreat
 
G/C          D/B
 But after a while
 
A                   Asus4 A
 The noise from the street
 
G/C                D/B
 Is making me wish I
 
A               Asus4 A
 Was back on my feet
 
ENJOY!
