I Feel Fantastic Tab

by Jonathan Coulton


This is my third tab and Jonathan Coulton song I have submitted; and I wrote it 
making it as easier to play with chords on every line.

Verse 1
                       
I get up early when the sleeping pill wakes me
                        
I take a wake up pill and fill with energy
                             
I power on hard and I check my messages
      
But I don't have any messages
                         
I take a driving pill and head to my car
                          
I drive around a bit 'cause work isn't very far
                             
I call my phone and I check my messages
      
But I don't have any messages

Pre-chorus 1
                                                          
All I know is driving on drugs feels better when they're prescription
                                                                       (break)
All I know is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful

Chorus
No chord      A
And I feel fantastic
                                  
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
                                            
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
                            
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now.
No chord       A 
And I feel fantastic
                                  
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
                                             
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
                       
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

Verse 2
                                   
 Work is anything but quiet these days
                    
 I try to medicate my concentration haze
                           
I can feel the day unfold in front of me
     
So I take the stairs and hit the gym
                            
 The phone is ringing when I get to my desk
                            
 What was a stinging's now a sharp pain in my chest
                             (break)
 So I take a Calminex and just chill
    
And then it's time for lunch again

Pre-chorus 2
                                                        
All I know is work is easy when you don't stress out about deadlines
                                               
All I know is I take my medicine I always take my medicine

Chorus
No chord      A
And I feel fantastic
                                  
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
                                             
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
                            
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now.
No chord        A
And I feel fantastic
                                 
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
                                              
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
                            
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

Bridge
                              
Sometimes I'd like to slow things down
              
Enjoy the moment
                               
But when I look the moment's gone

Intro

Verse 3
                                      
 Work is over but I can't stay to work late
                    
 Got to leave and get ready for my second date
                                    
 With a pretty girl that I met at the pharmacy

Right in the prescription line
                     
 I take a pill for my social anxiety
                   
 I get a table and a nice bottle of Chablis
                                          
 Now it's getting late and there's still no sign of her
  
I have another glass of wine

Pre-chorus 3
                                                                    
All I know is the wine lasts longer when you don't gotta share it with someone
                                                              
All I know is my steak tastes better when I take my steak tastes better pill

Chorus
No chord      A
And I feel fantastic
                                  
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
                                             
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
                            
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now.
No chord        A
And I feel fantastic
                                 
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
                                              
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
                            
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
