[Intro]
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
[Solo Chords]
D Bm G D A
[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

G
'Cause I miss you, son

If I was the one

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

And there's blood
