D
It starts out like a murmur
Then it grows like thunder
A
Until it bursts inside of you
D
Try to hold it steady
Wait until you're ready
A
Any second now will do
D
Throw the door wide open
Not a word is spoken
A                            D A
Anything that you want to do

Chorus:
     F#m               A
Ya know, ya know, ya know
     F#m               A
Ya know, ya know, ya know
     F#m               A
Ya know, ya know, ya know

Ah, don't you feel the same way?
Ah, don't you feel the same way?
But you don't know what to do?
No time for hesitatin'
Ain't no time for hesitatin'
All you got to do is move
They say you're feeling blue, well
I just found a cure
It's a thing you gotta do, yeah

Chorus

Now listen
Well you say your body's aching?
Well, I know that it's aching
Chill bumps come up on you
Yeah, the funny fool
I love the funny fool
Just like fooling after school
And then you ask for medication
Who cares for medication?
When you've worn away the cure?

Chorus

Go back to the country
Yeah, go back to the country
Feel a change is good for you
When you keep convincing
Ah, don't keep convincing
Well, what's that creeping up behind a' you?
It's just an old friend
It's just an old friend
And what's that he's got for you?

Chorus

F#m
Do your dance do your dance do your
dance do your dance
Do your dance do your dance do your
dance do your dance
Oooooh, medication. Medication! Medication!
