C# G#7 C# G#7 C#
[Verse 1]
C# G#7 C#
Yeah my wife she sometimes rages
C# G#7 C#
That I'm not so organised
C# G#7 C#
She knows that it has been ages
C# G#7 C#
Since I bought that bag of fries
F# C#
Just look at the pile of dishes
G#7 C#
The old tissues on that stool
F# C#
You may think that I am hopeless
G#7 C#
But my brain is pretty cool
[Chorus]
F# C# G#7 C#
ADHD, ADHD
C# F# G# C# C#7
I may be a slob, but I'm great at my job, that is just me
F# G#
They call it a deficiency
A#m D#7
But, you know what? I do not agree!
F# G# C# G#7 C#
This could be our real superpower, ADHD
[Verse 2]
C# G#7 C#
Just think of the human brain as...
C# G#7 C#
A gigantic mixing board
C# G#7 C#
Normal brains can use these dimmers
C# G#7 C#
To ease in and out of chores
F# C#
A little of this and that and...
G#7 C#
Like that all the chores are gone
F# C#
My brain doesn't work like that, man
G#7 C#
My brain just goes OFF and ON
[Chorus]
F# C# G#7 C#
ADHD, ADHD
C# F# G# C# C#7
Destigmatise it, no one should hide it, take it from me
C# F# G#
It's not a deficiency that's wrong
A#m D#7
ADHD helped me write this song
F# G#
We're good creators, stop being haters
F# C# G#7 C#
ADHD, ADHD
F#
Yeah, I'm awful with money
G# C# C#7
But hey I'm funny, seriously
F# G#
I might forget some things today
A#m D#7
But please believe me now when I say
F# G# C# C#7
You can get through it, here's how you do it, ADHD
[Bridge]
G#7
My phone's in the fridge
C#
My desk is a mess
G#7
Hey what's in that tree?
C#
This test gives me stress
F#
Forget what to get
C#
Don't know where to go
G# C#
But here's how I take control
G#7 C#
I get exercise, I go on a walk
G#7 C#
I make it a point to let people talk
F# C#
My wife makes a list, it's here on my wrist
G# C#
And now I am good to go
[Chorus]
F# C# G#7 C#
ADHD, ADHD
F# G# C# C#7
Destigmatise it, don't even hide it, take it from me
F# G#
It's just the way my brain was made
A#m D#7
But the good parts I never would trade
F# G# C#
I'm not complainin', I'm entertainin', ADHD
F# C# G#7 C#
ADHD, ADHD
F# G# C# C#7
The lawn it needs mowing, but I'll keep going, they changed the key
F# G#
I need to finish what I sing
C# D#7
Because of my executive functioning
F# G# C#
I'll do the prunin', but first I'm croonin', ADHD
F# G# C#
We're different thinkers, we like to tinker, ADHD
F# G#
It can be harder, but we are smarter
A#m D#7
Destigmatise it, no need to hide it
F# G#7 C# G#7 C#
You can get through it, just like I do it, ADHD
