The Heros Dose by Josh Radnor
The Heros Dose
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:7th fret
[Intro]
G Em Am7 D7
[Verse 1]
G Em
What do you do when there’s nothing to do
Am7 D7
You’ve read every book that said it’d save you
G Em Am7 D7
But every word looks dead on the page
G Em
I’ve lit all the candles and said all the prayers
Am7 D7
But I’m worried there’s nobody upstairs
G Em Am7 D7
So I’m drinkin and eatin my troubles away
[Chorus]
Am7 D7
I feel the darkness drawing so close
G Em
I’ve run out of land at the edge of the coast
Am7 D7 G Em
In front of me’s a demon behind me a ghost
Am7 D7
I wanted poetry but all I got’s prose
G Em
I’m clear in my head and confused in my toes
Am7 D7 G Em
Like Vonnegut said “And so it goes”
Am7
Might be time
D7
It might be time
G
For the hero’s dose
[Verse 2]
G Em
Left on the playground with no mom around
Am7 D7
Dad’s still at work or maybe out of town
G Em Am7 D7
Forty years later I still feel the fear
G Em
Trapped betweaen worlds in purgatory
Am7 D7
Don’t wanna be a slave to my history
G Em Am7 D7
I thank my ancestors but I’ll take it from here
[Chorus]
Am7 D7
I feel the darkness drawing so close
G Em
I’ve run out of land at the edge of the coast
Am7 D7 G Em
In front of me’s a demon behind me a ghost
Am7 D7
I wanted poetry but all I got’s prose
G Em
I’m clear in my head and confused in my toes
Am7 D7 G Em
Like Vonnegut said “And so it goes”
Am7
Might be time
D7
It might be time
G
For the hero’s dose
[Verse 3]
G Em
I’ll take five gram crackers a cap and a gown
Am7 D7
I’ll stop by the church at the edge of the town
G Em Am7 D7
And weep before Mary and confess all my sins
G Em
Then run through the graveyard where my father lies
Am7 D7
Tell myself I am healthy wealthy and wise
G Em Am7 D7
And sing a song backed by twelve mandolins
[Chorus]
Am7 D7
I feel the darkness drawing so close
G Em
I’ve run out of land at the edge of the coast
Am7 D7 G Em
In front of me’s a demon behind me a ghost
Am7 D7
I’ll fly up to heaven with a heartful of hope
G Em
Rattle the gates demand that they ope
Am7 D7 G Em
And say to the angels give me the most
Am7
Might be time
D7
It might be time
G
For the hero’s dose
