D-DU-UDU
 I look for joy in a strange  place, from the back  of a bar,  from afar
 I see the look on my momma’s  face, when her son’s  in the corner,  undone
 She says that my life  is over:  “Boy,  you don’t know  what you got,
 ‘till it’s gone.  Come, put your head  upon my shoulder”
 She gave me her hand,  but I ignored her
Oh, doctor  John, what  am I doing, what  am I doing wrong?
 ‘cause I  keep  on trying, but  something  ain’t going, something  ain’t going  on
 Doctor John
 I look for joy in a strange  place, in the back  of a bar,  from afar
 I see the look on my daddy’s  face, when his son’s  falling over,  undone
 “Father, my life  is over,  I  didn’t  know what I had, now it’s gone
 Can I lay my head  upon your shoulder?  If I fall asleep,  will it be over?”
Oh,  doctor  John,  what  am I doing, what  am I doing wrong?
 ‘cause I  keep  on trying,  but something ain’t  going, something ain’t going on
 You say I’m a big  heart breaker,  but doctor I never  hurt ya,  isn’t it  obvious?
Oh,  doctor  John, what  am I doing, what  am I doing wrong?
 ‘cause I  keep  on trying,  but something ain’t  going, something ain’t going on
Another  day, another break-up (Oh, doctor John)
 We hold on  and on, we hold on and on and on
Another  day, another wake up (I keep on trying)
 We hold on  and on, we hold on and on and on
Another  day, another break-up (Oh, doctor John)
 What am I doing, what  am I doing wrong? (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
 Cuz I
  (Another day, another wake up (I keep on trying))
 But something ain’t going, something  ain’t going on… (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
 (Another  day, another break-up (Oh, doctor John))
 What am I doing, what  am I doing wrong?! (We hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
 Cuz I.. (Another  day, another wake up (I keep on trying))
 But something ain’t going, something  ain’t going on… (We  hold on and on, we hold on and on and on)
 Doctor John… Ooh…
 Doctor John

I look for joy in a s[Am]trange place, from the [C]back of a [G]bar, from a[E7]far
I see the look on my mom[Am]ma’s face, when her s[C]on’s in the co[G]rner, un[E7]done
She says that my l[A]ife is over[D]: “Bo[C#m]y, you don’t k[Bm]now what you got,
‘till it’s g[E7]one. Come, put your he[A]ad upon my shoulde[B]r”
She gave me her h[E]and, but I ignored her
