[Verse 1]
My [G]life's alright when I'm high
I [Em]did my best to get by
I [D]told my parents I'd try
I was [C]losing track of my mind
So [G]I went to the medicine man
to [Em]fix my attention span
He [D]put a pill in my hand
'Cause [C]life's a breeze when you're slammed
[Chorus]
I'm a [C]boy in a [D]box
When you're [Em]six, watch the [G]clock
Get your [Am]fix out of the [D]bottle
Drink it [C]up, and then [D]swallow
I'm a [C]boy in a [D]box
When you're [Em]six, watch the [G]clock
Get your [Am]fix out of the [D]bottle
Drink it [C]up, and then [D]swallow
Tune in,[C] tune out[D]
Breathe in,[C] breathe [G]out
[Verse 2]
So [G]what's a little white lie
to [Em]parents who never try?
A [D]little prescription high
will [C]help you guys to get by
So [G]let's all take a ride
and [Em]we can stand in line
To [D]get a little peace of mind
[C]From the medicine man's supply
[C]From the medicine man's supply
[Chorus]
I'm a [C]boy in a [D]box
When you're [Em]six, watch the [G]clock
Get your [Am]fix out of the [D]bottle
Drink it [C]up, and then [D]swallow
I'm a [C]boy in a [D]box
When you're [Em]six, watch the [G]clock
Get your [Am]fix out of the [D]bottle
Drink it [C]up, and then [D]swallow
Tune in,[C] tune out[D]
Breathe in,[C] breathe [G]out
[Bridge]
[B]I was floating on a [EM]high, up somewhere in the [Db]sky
My teacher asked me [C]why I didn't pass the test
I [Am]have a knot down in my chest
Reach [D]for the bottle of my meds
[Chorus]
I'm a [C]boy in a [D]box
When you're [Em]six, watch the [G]clock
Get your [Am]fix out of the [D]bottle
Drink it [C]up, and then [D]swallow
I'm a [C]boy in a [D]box
When you're [Em]six, watch the [G]clock
Get your [Am]fix out of the [D]bottle
Drink it [C]up, and then [D]swallow
Tune in,[C] tune out[D]
Breathe in,[C] breathe [G]out
Tune in,[C] tune out[D]
Breathe in,[C] breathe [G]out
