[Intro]
E Amaj7 E Amaj7
E
[Verse 1]
E A
Shakespeare in study hall
B
Percocet and some Adderall
A
Doctor called it a wonder drug
E
Ripped a page from the Book of Job
A
I remember you innocent
B
Now all you are is bones and skin
A
With your father's temperament
E
Still paying off that original sin
C#m B
And it never gets easier
[Chorus]
A
Remember, we had it all planned out
C#m B
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
A
How dare you leave me high and dry now
C#m B
Thinking somehow it was something I did
A C#m
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
B
Took more than I ever could give
A E Amaj7 E
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug
[Verse 2]
E A
It's the straw and the camel's back
B
I'm so angry and I feel bad
A
Was it God or your parents, or the small town that raised you?
E
I held your face in my hands
C#m B
But I still couldn't break through
[Chorus]
A
Remember, we had it all planned out
C#m B
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
A
How dare you leave me high and dry now
C#m B
Thinking somehow it was something I did
A C#m
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
B
Grabs hold with the hand that it gives
A E
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug?
[Bridge]
C#m B
Why couldn't you run to love?
A B E
Why couldn't you run to love?
[Verse 3]
E A
I wasn't paying attention when
B
The roof was steady, the walls came in
A
Blue-collar life and all its weight
E
I was right there and I was too late
[Outro]
A
I was too late
E
I was too late
A
Too late
