Walking away.
It's not the same as running.
D6 Gsus C Dsus2 G6 D6 Riff 1

Is it to you know that you've run in this ground.

And you say take this.
This medicine is just what you deserve.
Swallow, choke, and die.

Chorus

And this bitter pill is leaving you
Dsus/F#

with such an angry mouth.

One that's void of all discretion
such an awful tearing sound.
G Dsus/F#

With it's measure only equal by the power of my stare

glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair
Am7 D7 G? G6

It's wearing off
and it's leaving you with such a heavy heart

and a head to match.

The bottle is waiting
the cap is twisted begging to be used
and so are you.
