Chorus:
Cm            Ab
Im about to lose my mind
                 Bb
 You've been gone for so long
 I'm running out of time
       Ab
 I need a doctor
       F
 Call me a doctor
       G7
 I need a doctor, doctor
 To bring me back to life
 
Verse 1:
 Cm
I told the World one day I would pay it back
       Ab
 Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
 So that one day I could play it back
 Bb
 But I don't even know if I would leave it when I'm saying that
 Ya'll start to creep in, everyday its so grey and black
 Ab
 Hope I just need a ray of that
                    F
 Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for Em
 They just say its wack
               G7
 They don't know what dope is
 And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
 When I wrote this,
 All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
   Cm
 You picked me up, breeding life in me
 I owe my life to you
 Ab
 Before the life of me, I dont see why you dont see like I Do
 Bb
 But it just dawned on me you lost a son
 See this light in you, it's dark. 
 let me turn on the lights and brigthen 
 me and lighten you
 Ab
 I dont think you realise what you mean to me
 Not the slightest clue
 F
 Cause me and you were like a crew
 I was like your sidekick
       G7
 You gonna either wanna fight me when I get off this mic
 Or you gonna hug me
 But I'm not an option, theres nothing else I can Do cause...
 
Chorus:
Cm            Ab
Im about to lose my mind
                 Bb
 You've been gone for so long

 I'm running out of time
       Ab
 I need a doctor
       F
 Call me a doctor
       G7
 I need a doctor, doctor
 To bring me back to life

Verse 2:
  Cm 
 It hurts when I see you struggle
 You come to me with ideas
 Ab
 You say there pieces so I'm puzzled
               Bb
 Cause what I hear is crazy
 But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
 Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
 Ab
 Cant make a decision keep questioning yourself
     F
 Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
       G7
 Like I'm your leader
 Your susposed to be my mentor
 I can endure no more,
 I demand you remember who you are
 Cm                                          
 It was YOU, who believed in me 
  Ab
 When everyone was telling you dont sign me
 Everyone at the label, lets tell the truth
 Bb
 You risked your career for me
 I know it as well as you
 No one wanted to mess with the white girl
 Thats why I'm crying in this booth
   Ab
 You saved my life, now maybe its my time to save yours
 F
 But I can never repay you what you did for me is way more
 G7
 But I aint giving up faith and you aint giving up on me
 Get up now, I'm dying I need you, come back for heavens sake
