e E                     e    B
   did you fall out of your family tree
e A               a  B
   here's a kiss to mend your knee
           A                   B          E(0)    A B
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes


e E              e    B
   how long did you think you'd last
e A                            a  B
   with your sleeping pills and laughing gas
            A                  B          E(0)
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes


[bridge]:
F#m
throw your hats at the moon in georges square,
F#m [sl.up] A                  A G#m F#m
was  that  ever us

F#m
climbing walls giving names to the stars
A                B
was that ever us


e E              e B
   and if you come home with me,
e A                          a  B
   I'll slip a little something in your tea
           A                  B          E(0)
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes


[bridge]


e E                       e B
  you've been hanging out in casualty
e A                   a B
  for shooting too much mercury
           A                  B          E(0)     B  A
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes


e E               e   B
  oh and if you come home with me,
e A                      a  B
  I'll score for you if you score for me
            A                  B          E(0)
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes

This arrangement is quite different from Eddi Reader's album version, but
it sounds roughly like how a guitar arrangement of this song should do.
Improvements welcome.
