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 what's 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 lose.
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                                 Am        Dbdim7
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                    Am          Dbdim7
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                    Am       Dddim7
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, that's 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 it's ok that you're 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 that's 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!)
 F                                Gm   C              F
(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!
         Gb           Abm   Db             Gb
Turn it off! (Like a light switch, shut it off!)
   Abm    Db
(Now he isn't gay anymore!)


(Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it...!)
(Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it...!)
(Turn it...)
                          Gb
ELDER MCKINLEY: Turn it off!
