All chords are played as barre chords.  There are two
guitars strumming all acoustic parts, and they both
play the chords on different parts of the neck,
so it doesn't really matter if you play the E open
or at the 7th fret, or the F#m at the 2nd or 9th.
and i read that billie uses a capo on the 5th fret, when playing the acoustic
so you could do that too.

Intro: A F#m Bm E

A                       F#m
Take away the sensation inside
Bm                          E
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
A                                      F#m
It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind
Bm                       E
I cant take this feeling anymore

D                           A
Drain the pressure from the swelling
D                    A
This sensation's overwhelming
D                                 F#m
Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright
Bm                    E
Tell me I wont feel a thing
               A F#m Bm E
So give me Novacaine

A                      F#m
Out of body and out of mind
Bm                        E
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
A                        F#m
I get the funny feeling, that's alright
Bm                         E
Jimmy says its better than here

I'll tell you why

D                           A
Drain the pressure from the swelling
D                  A
The sensations overwhelming
D                            F#m
Give me a kiss goodnight and everything will be alright
Bm                         E
tell me that i wont feel a thing
               A
So give me Novacaine

Oh Novacaine
