Chords

[Intro] D Bm G D A [Verse 1]
D
Driving by those trucker stops

Bm
The cheap motels made of concrete rocks

       G
With a hole inside your chest

              D          A
The size of a city block

    D
I remember the days

                                     Bm
When you said you weren't afraid to die

                      G
I don't think you're brave for it

                          D                 A
I just think you're more afraid of being alive
[Chorus]
               G
If I had the medicine

                   A
I'd give you the medicine

         G
'Cause I miss you, son

                    A
I'd bring you back home
If I was the one
          G
But it's four and ten

                     A
In the belly of the four am

                    G                                   A
And you're staring down another weekend to silence the pain
And I'm wide awake
                           D
And there's blood on the promenade
[Solo Chords] D Bm G D A [Verse 2]
D                                                 Bm
Here's to waking up with that stone between your ribs

                       G
And you're lying down again

                                        D   A
You just pretend you don't know what it is

D                                                    Bm
When everyone around you says you're not the one to blame for it

                                            G
But you're the only one that's feeling the pain for it

                     D                 A
So you're gonna take matters into your own hands, yeah
[Chorus]
               G
If I had the medicine

                   A
I'd give you the medicine

         G
'Cause I miss you, son

                    A
I'd bring you back home
If I was the one
          G
But it's four and ten

                     A
In the belly of the four am

                    G                                   A
And you're staring down another weekend to silence the pain
And I'm wide awake
                           D
And there's blood on the promenade
[Outro CHorus]
               G
If I had the medicine

                   A
I'd give you the medicine

         G
'Cause I miss you, son

                    A
I'd bring you back home
If I was the one
          G
But it's four and ten

                     A
In the belly of the four am

                    G                                   A
And you're staring down another weekend to silence the pain
And I'm wide awake
                     D
And there's blood
[Outro Chords] D Bm G D A
