F#
I've been so good, I've been helpful and friendly
A#m
I've been so good, why am I feeling empty?
G#m                C#                      F#
I've been so good, I've been so good this year
F#
I've been so good, but it's still getting harder
A#m
I've been so good, where the hell is the karma?
G#m                C#                      F#
I've been so good, I've been so good this year

F#                      A#m
Why, are you asking me why?
            G#m                                  F#
My days and nights are filled with disappointment
F#                        A#m
Fine, oh no, everything's fine
             G#m                             F#
I'm not sure why I booked today's appointment

Chorus

What? Am I normal or not?
Am I crazier than other patients?
Right, I've done everything right
So where's the karma, Doc? I've lost my patience

Chorus:
'Cause I've been so good
I've been working my ass off
I've been so good
Still, I'm lonely and stressed out
I've been so good
I've been so good this year
And I've been so good
But it's still getting harder
I've been so good
Where the hell is the karma?
I've been so good
I've been so good this year

F#
Ah-ah-ah-ah
A#m

I've been so good this year

I've been so good this year

F#
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
A#m
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
G#m
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Time, I know we're out of time
But what if sad thoughts come and I can't stop it?
Bye, I don't wanna say bye
If only I could keep you in my pocket

            B
To give me some diagnosis of why I'm so hollow
        A#m
Please give me instructions, I promise I'll follow
    B
I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow
    A#m
But doesn't that mean that the tour's gonna sell though?
    B
I try to explain the good faith that's been wasted
   A#m
But after an hour, it sounds like complaining
       B
Wait, don't go away, can I lie here forever?
    A#m                       A#
You say that I'm better, why don't I feel better?
    D#m                   C#
The universe works in mysterious ways
          B                        F#/A#
But I'm starting to think it ain't working for me
          G#m
Doctor, should I be good, should I be good this year?
