Verse 1:
D MajorD
Driving by those trucker stops
B minorBm
The cheap motels made of concrete rocks
    G+G
With a hole inside your chest
       D MajorD     A augmentedA
The size of a city block
  D MajorD
I remember the days
                   B minorBm
When you said you weren't afraid to die
           G+G
I don't think you're brave for it
             D MajorD         A augmentedA
I just think you're more afraid of being alive

Chorus:
        G+G
If I had the medicine
          A augmentedA
I'd give you the medicine
     G+G
'Cause I miss you, son
          A augmentedA
I'd bring you back home

If I was the one
     G+G
But it's four and ten
           A augmentedA
In the belly of the four am
          G+G                  A augmentedA
And you're staring down another weekend to silence the pain

And I'm wide awake
              D MajorD
And there's blood on the promenade

            G+G
And you're lying down again
                    D MajorD  A augmentedA
You just pretend you don't know what it is
D MajorD                          B minorBm
When everyone around you says you're not the one to blame for it
                      G+G
