F# D#m
They call me Doctor Worm
B C#7
Good morning, how are you?
F# D#m
I'm Doctor Worm. I'm interested in things
B C#
I'm not a real doctor but I
Badd9 C#7(11) F# D#m7
am a real worm I am an actual worm
Badd9 C#7
I live like a worm and
I like to play the drums
I think I'm getting good
But I can handle criticism
I'll show you what I know
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums
Badd9 C#7(11) D E
I'll leave the front unlocked 'cause I can't hear the doorbell
