Methadone (acoustic)

	  		


verse 1  F Dm Am F Dm Am C  

F             Dm             Am   
love's like a needle full of methadone 
F              Dm            Am           C 
potent but not real left you wanting more 
F                    Dm                
lipstick track-marks bleeding wet 
     Am            C 
like Montagues and Capulets 
    F              Dm              Am     C 
for us, child, the stars refuse to shine 
        F                 Dm              Am   
why for us, child, do the stars refuse to shine? 


PreChorus 1  G Am G Dm Em F  

          G     
somewhere strung out on the lam 
         Am 
we wound up back here again 
       G 
like unstable chemicals 
   Dm     Em        F  
combining only to explode 




Am            F               C       G 
what would it take for you to notice 
Am   F                 C 
i am heart on fire and all the 
          G 
world's a fuse so don't get close 
Am           F                
the trouble and the worth 
C            G          F
 
am i better off on my own? 


verse 2  F Dm Am F Dm Am C  

F            Dm               Am         C  
contaminated quarantined then left alone 
F          Dm    Am          C  
shipment refused address unknown 
F             Dm               
damaged goods they soon forget 
    Am                C  
in choking dust where we got left 
F              Dm              Am     
for us all the stars refuse to shine 


PreChorus 2  G Am G Dm Em F   

G  
so tap the vein and light the match 
Am 
we burn like stars before the crash 
G 
but for you there's still a chance 
         Dm Em F  
just let go 


 


Am            F               C       G 
what would it take for you to notice 
Am   F                 C 
i am heart on fire and all the 
          G 
world's a fuse so don't get close 
Am           F                
the trouble and the worth 
C            G           
am i better off on my own? 


Post-Chorus  F G Am F C Dm Am Em F G

Bridge  Am F C G  

                           Am  F  
but now there's nowhere to run 
C               G          Am  F 
and now there's nowhere to hide 
C               G          Am F  
there's nothing under the sun 
C          G             Am F C 
we haven't already tried 



Am            F               C       G 
what would it take for you to notice 
Am          F                
that i am a hand grenade 
C           G 
pin already pulled so don't let go 
Am          F                
as we chase the sun 
C            G           
my shadow slows us down 
Am            F               
without me along 
 C       G         F 
you're better off, I know
