Dear doctor

Rolling Stones - Dear Doctor - exiile on mainstreet

E
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
E A A7
There's a pain where there once was a heart
E
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
D A E
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
B E
Right there in that jar?


E
Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
E A A7
It's today that's the day of the plunge
E
Oh the gal I'm to marry
D A
Is a bow-legged sow
E B E
I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge

E
"Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother
E A A7
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
E
Pull your socks up, put your suit on
D A
Comb your long hair down,
E B E
For you will be wed in the hour

E
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
E A A7
There's a pain where there once was a heart
E
I'm sleepin, it's a beatin'
D A E
Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it
B E
Right there in that jar?

E
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
E A A7
There's a pain where there once was a heart
E
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
D A E
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
B E
Right there in that jar?

E
I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket
E A A7
It had creases as sharp as a knife
E
I put the ring in my pocket
D A
But there was a note
E B E
And my heart it jumped into my mouth

E
It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.
E A A7
But I have no courage to speak to your face.
E D A
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
E B E
There will be no wedding today."

E
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
E A A7
You can put back my heart in its hole
E D A
Oh mama, I'm cryin' Tears of relief

E B E
