The Next Four Months

G              D                 
Maybe we could break your ankle, 
Em             C
clean and unsuspiciously.
G             D
An ER trip, a doctor’s slip,
    Em                   C     G 
and you could share your pills 
   Am
with me.
C                G               
Won’t it feel so good, though, 
         D      G
when we’re lying,
C             G                  
side by side, can’t move, and I’m
      D
 not trying?


Em   G          C
2000 milligrams each.

G              D          
A hotel by the pharmacy with 
   Em                 C
drinking straws in toothpaste tubes.
G                    D           
Stash them with your toiletries 
   Em              C     G    Am
and I will share my pills with you.
C              G               D
Little Michael sleeping in the 
            G
child safety seat,
C              G                  
lying with the windows rolled up, in
D
 the August heat.

3000 milligrams each,
Em   G          C
4000 milligrams.


G                      D
We’re driving down the interstate,
       Em                 C
you’re feeling great, you scratch 
your wrist,
    G               D        
and we pretend your kids, your 
           Em                
husband, all you left does not 
C   G Am
exist.
C           G                     
And in some motel that night we’re
 D G
 lying,
C            G                  
I can barely whisper “it’s like 
D
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             
I know I’m weak, I won't deny 
   Em            C
we’ll see our trial sometime soon.
    G                  D
But when i know we’re fucked,
               Em               
I’ll halve the pile and share my 
 C     G    Am
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
Where we lie, lie, lie. Will we be 
  C
fine?
F   Em   C
Not this time.
