Violent Things Medley

G                     Am
All of the drugs, she takes at night,
Am        D      G
Keep her awake, Give me a fright,
  G                    Am
I don't know what goes through her mind,
      Am D     G
When she takes drugs.
G                   Am
All of the lies she tells herself,
Am         D         G
Won't be believed by anybody else.
    G                Am
And I can't buy just what she sells,
     Am  D     G
When she tells lies.
        C     D   G              C     D   G
And she takes her pills, And she tells her lies,
        C         D          G          Em
And she breaks my heart, and breaks her word,
    C       D       G G
But I still act surprised.
