Bb
I got a feeling,
Am
That you could be feeling,
Gm C
A whole lot better then you feel today
Bb
You say you got a problem,
Am
well that's no problem
Dm Gm C F
It's super easy not to feel that way!
Bb
When you start to get confused
Am
because of thoughts in your head,
Gm
Don't feel those feelings!
C
Hold them in instead
F Gm C
Turn it off, like a light switch
F
just go click!
Gm C
It's a cool little Mormon
F
trick!
Gm C
We do it all the time
Bb C
When you're feeling certain feels that just don't feel right
Bb C
Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light
F
and turn em off,
Gm C F
Like a light switch just go bap!
Gm C F
Really whats so hard about that?
Gm C
Turn it off! (Turn it off!)
Bb
When I was young my dad,
Am
Would treat my mom real bad,
Gm C
every time the Utah Jazz would loose.
Bb
He'd start a' drinking,
Am
and I'd start a thinking,
Dm Gm C F
How am I gonna keep my mom from getting abused?
Bb Am
I'd see her all scared and my soul was dying,
Gm C
My dad would say to me, Now don't you dare start crying.
F Gm C F
Turn it off, Like a light switch just go click!
Gm C F
It's our nifty little Mormon trick!)
Gm C F Gm C
Turn it off! (Turn. It. Off!)
Bb Am
My Sister was a dancer, but she got cancer,
Gm C
My doctor said she still had two months more
Bb Am
I thought she had time, so I got in line
Dm Gm C F
for the new Iphone at the apple store.
Bb Am
She lay there dying with my father and mother
Gm C
Her very last words were "where is my brother?"
F Gm C F
Turn it off! Yeah! (Bid those sad feelings adieu!)
Gm C F
The fear I might get cancer too,
Bb Am
When I was in fifth grade, I had a friend Steve Blade,
Gm C
He and I were close as two friends could be
Bb Am
One thing led to another, and soon I would discover,
Dm Gm C F
I was having really strange feelings for Steve
Bb Am
I thought about us, on a deserted Island
Gm C
We'd swim naked in the sea, and then he'd try and...
F Gm C
WOAH! Turn if off, like a light switch,
F
There, it's gone! (Good for you!)
Gm C F
My hetero side just won!
Gm C
I\'m all better now,
Bb C
Boys should be with girls thats heavenly fathers plan
Bb C
So if you ever feel you'd rather be with a man,
F
Turn it off.
ELDER PRICE:
Gm C F
Well Elder McKinley, I think its ok that your having gay thoughts,
Gm C
just so long as you never act on them.
ELDER MCKINLEY:
F Gm C F
No, because then you're just keeping it down,
Gm C F
Like a dimmer switch on low, (On low!)
Gm C F
Thinking nobody needs to know! (Uh oh!)
ELDER PRICE:
Gm C
But that's not true!
ELDER MCKINLEY:
Bb C
Being gay is bad, but lying is worse,
Bb C
So just realize you have a curable curse,
And turn it off! (Turn it off, turn it off!)
(Dance)
Turn it off!
(F) Gm C
Now how do you feel!
ELDER PRICE:
F
The same
ELDER MCKINLEY:
Gm C F
Then you only got yourself to blame,
Gm C F
You didn't pretend hard enough
Bb C
Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes,
Bb C
and find the box thats gay and CRUSH IT!
Ok?
ELDER PRICE:
No, no, -I'm- not having gay thoughts
ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Alright! It worked!
(Yay!)
(Turn it off!)
(Turn it off, Turn it off!)

(Turn it off, turn it off like a light switch just go click click!
Gm C F
What a cool little Mormon Trick! Trick trick!
Gm C
We do it all the time!)
ELDER MCKINLEY:
Bb C
When you're feeling certain feelings that just don't seem right!
Bb C
Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light!
