Methadone

F             Dm             Am
love's like a needle full of methadone
F              Dm            Am           C
potent but not real left you wanting more
F                    Dm
lipstick track-marks bleeding wet
     Am            C
like Montagues and Capulets
    F              Dm              Am     C
for us, child, the stars refuse to shine
        F                 Dm              Am
why for us, child, do the stars refuse to shine?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
          G
somewhere strung out on the lam
         Am
we wound up back here again
       G
like unstable chemicals
   Dm     Em        F
combining only to explode

[Chorus 1]
Am            F               C       G
what would it take for you to notice
Am   F                 C
i am heart on fire and all the
          G
world's a fuse so don't get close
Am           F
the trouble and the worth
C            G          F
am i better off on my own?

[Verse 2]
F            Dm               Am         C
contaminated quarantined then left alone
F          Dm    Am          C
shipment refused address unknown
F             Dm
damaged goods they soon forget
    Am                C
in choking dust where we got left
F              Dm              Am
for us all the stars refuse to shine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
so tap the vein and light the match
Am
we burn like stars before the crash
G
but for you there's still a chance
         Dm Em F
just let go

[Chorus 2]
Am            F               C       G
what would it take for you to notice
Am   F                 C
i am heart on fire and all the
          G
world's a fuse so don't get close
Am           F
the trouble and the worth
C            G
am i better off on my own?

[Post-Chorus]
F G Am F
C Dm Am Em F G

[Bridge]
                           Am  F
but now there's nowhere to run
C               G          Am  F
and now there's nowhere to hide
C               G          Am F
there's nothing under the sun
C          G             Am F C
we haven't already tried

[Chorus 3]
Am            F               C       G
what would it take for you to notice
Am          F
that i am a hand grenade
C           G
pin already pulled so don't let go
Am          F
as we chase the sun
C            G
my shadow slows us down
Am            F
without me along
 C       G         F
you're better off, I know
