Maybe we could break your ankle, clean and unsuspiciously.

An ER trip, a doctor’s slip,
Em C G Am
and you could share your pills with me.
C G D G
Won’t it feel so good, though, when we’re lying,
C G D
side by side, can’t move, and I’m not trying?
Em G C
2000 milligrams each.
G D Em C
A hotel by the pharmacy with drinking straws in toothpaste tubes.
G D Em C G Am
Stash them with your toiletries and I will share my pills with you.

Little Michael sleeping in the child safety seat,

4000 milligrams.

We’re driving down the interstate,
Em C
you’re feeling great, you scratch your wrist,
G D Em C G Am
and we pretend your kids, your husband, all you left does not exist.
C G D G
And in some motel that night we’re lying,
C G D
I can barely whisper “it’s like dying.
Em G C
Baby, do you know what I mean?
Em G C
Well baby, did you hear me?
Em G C
Well baby, you fell asleep.”
G D Em C
I know I’m weak, I won't deny we’ll see our trial sometime soon.
G D
But when i know we’re fucked,
Em C G Am
I’ll halve the pile and share my pills with you.
C G
Cause we’ve felt fully in our bodies,
Am F
and we’ve felt totally alive,
C G
so we’re prepared to float above this
Am F C Dm
dirty bed where we both lie.
F C Dm F C
Where we lie, lie, lie. Will we be fine?
F Em C
Not this time.
