Biography:
John Mark McMillan is an indie rock artist from Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, where he grew up playing in local rock bands. In June of 2005, McMillan released his first album, Hope Anthology Volume One. Just a few months after the release of this album, McMillan lost his best friend in a tragic accident, bringing him into a troubling time. It was the grief caused by this accident, and the subsequent rise from it, that inspired him to create his second anthology, The Song Inside The Sounds of Breaking Down.

[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]

If I had the medicine
