Riff 1 C Dsus2
Walking away.
G6
It's not the same as running.
D6 Gsus4 C Dsus2 G6 D6 Riff 1
Is it to you know that you've run in this ground.
C Dsus2
And you say take this.
G6 D6 Gsus4 C
This medicine is just what you deserve.
D6 G6
Swallow, choke, and die.
Chorus:
G
And this bitter pill is leaving you
Dsus4/F#
with such an angry mouth.
Em
One that's void of all discretion
D7
such an awful tearing sound.
G Dsus4/F#
With it's measure only equal by the power of my stare
Am7 D7
glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair
Am7 D7 G? G6 Riff 1
is never wearing out.
C Dsus2
It's wearing off
G6 D6 Gsus4 C
and it's leaving you with such a heavy heart
Dsus2 G6 D6 Riff 1
and a head to match.
C Dsus2
The bottle is waiting
G D6 Gsus4 C
the cap is twisted begging to be used
Dsus2 G6
and so are you. Chorus
