G Maybe we could D break your ankle, Em clean and unsus C piciously.
G An ER trip, a D doctor's slip,
and Em you could share your C pills G with Am me.
C Won't it feel so G good, though, when we're D lying, G
C side by side, G can't move, and I'm not t D rying?
Em 2000 G milligrams C each.
G A hotel by the D pharmacy with Em drinking straws in C toothpaste tubes.
G Stash them with your D toiletries and Em I will share my C pills G with Am you.
C Little Michael G sleeping in the D child safety G seat,
C lying with the G windows rolled up, D in the August heat.
Em 3000 G milligrams C each,
Em 4000 G milligrams. C
G We're driving down the D interstate,
you're Em feeling great, you C scratch your wrist,
and G we pretend your D kids, your husband, Em all you left does C not G ex Am ist.
C And in some G motel that night we're D ly G ing,
C I can barely G whisper it's like D dying.
Em Baby, do you G know what I C mean?
Em Well baby, did G you hear C me?
Em Well baby, G you fell a C sleep.
G I know I'm weak, I D won't deny we'll Em see our trial C sometime soon.
But G when i know we're f D ucked,
I'll halve the Em pile and share my C pills G with Am you.
C Cause we've felt G fully in our bodies,
Am and we've felt total F ly alive,
C so we're prepared to G float above this
Am dirty bed where F we C both Dm lie.
Where we F lie, C lie, Dm lie. Will we F be C fine?
F Not Em this C time.
