Sufjan Stevens - I Want To Be Well: chords

G#                    Cm       F#
To think that I would die this time
         C#/G#                     G#
Isolated in the room where the bed rises
             D#                  A#
Photographic ordinary people are everywhere
Gm                      D#m
Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories,
Cm
ordinary histories

F#        G#     D#m       C#
I’ll find sleep, I’ll find peace
Cm    D#m       Am        F#6
Or in death we sleep with ease

To figure that it was my fault
Or so I've come to realize life is not about
Love to some and (ordinary people are everywhere)
Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are,
ordinary people are

Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
Illness is watching, waiting its turn

C#               F
Did I go at it wrong?
            F#           Dm   Am
Or did I go intentionally to destroy me?
A#m              Dm
I’m suffering in noise I’m suffering in
 G#           Dm   Am
(touching ordinary body)
A#m                  F
The burning from within the burning from with
 F#       Dm   Am
(ordinary hysteria)
A#m                Dm                     G#
I could not be at rest, I could not be at peace
           Am      F7
(extraordinary hysteria)

A#m              D#                     F#
So do yourself a good, or do yourself a death
         C#
from ordinary causes
A#m               D#                      F#
Or do yourself a favor, or do yourself a death
          C#   A#m/C#
from ordinary causes

F#maj7  A#m       D#m                   G#
Illness likes, to prey upon the lonely, prey upon
the lonely
F#maj7  A#m        D#m                     G#
When it bites, oh, I would rather be dead I would
rather give up

Chorus:
  F#
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
  C#
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
  D#m
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
  C#/G#
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
  A#m/F
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well
  G#9
I want to be well, I want to be well
I want to be well, I want to be well

F#                                           A#m/C#
And I forgive you even
 as you choke me that way
                    A#m/C                    D#m/A#
With the pill or demon
 and the shrouded shalom
                D#m/A#                   C#/G#
Under conversation
 in tremendous weight of
                      C#/F#
A crowd of ages outside 
dressed for murder

        A#m/F
I’m not fucking around
                          G#9
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
    G#
I’m not, I’m not

Chorus:
        F#
I’m not fucking around
                          A#m/C#
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
    A#m/C                 D#m/A#
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
                          C#/G#
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
    C#/F#                 A#m/F
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
                          G#9
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
    G#
I’m not, I’m not

And shall I kiss you even
As you take me that way?
With the pill or demon
As my body changes
Apparitions gone awry
They surround me, all sides
But from within I see it, unholy changes
I'm not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not

Chorus:
        F#
I’m not fucking around
                          A#m/C#
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
    A#m/C                 D#m/A#
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
                          C#/G#
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
    C#/F#                 A#m/F
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
                          G#9
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
    G#
I’m not, I’m nott
