Chorus:
Em G
Can you medicate a broken heart?
C Am
Make your tragedies a work of art
Em G
Medicate a broken heart
C Am
Build your walls up just to rip them apart
Em G
Is this the way to fix this or is this a quick fix?
C Am
I really couldn't say
Em G Am C
Can you medicate, medicate, medicate it away?
