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

[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
