Wonder Drug Chords

(ver. 1)
Lori Mckenna
[Intro]
E   Amaj7   E   Amaj7
E
 
 
[Verse 1]
E                        A
Shakespeare in study hall
                          B
Percocet and some Adderall
                             A
Doctor called it a wonder drug
                                  E
Ripped a page from the Book of Job
                       A
I remember you innocent
                               B
Now all you are is bones and skin
                             A
With your father's temperament
                               E
Still paying off that original sin
                  C#m    B
And it never gets easier
 
 
[Chorus]
  A
Remember, we had it all planned out
  C#m               B
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
A
How dare you leave me high and dry now
C#m                     B
Thinking somehow it was something I did
       A                       C#m
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
     B
Took more than I ever could give
             A                     E   Amaj7   E
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                                  A
It's the straw and the camel's back
                         B
I'm so angry and I feel bad
                                   A
Was it God or your parents, or the small town that raised you?
                       E
I held your face in my hands
                     C#m           B
But I still couldn't break through
 
 
[Chorus]
  A
Remember, we had it all planned out
  C#m               B
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
A
How dare you leave me high and dry now
C#m                     B
Thinking somehow it was something I did
       A                       C#m
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
      B
Grabs hold with the hand that it gives
             A                     E
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug?
 
 
[Bridge]
                 C#m    B
Why couldn't you run to love?
                 A      B      E
Why couldn't you run to love?
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                             A
I wasn't paying attention when
                                      B
The roof was steady, the walls came in
                                   A
Blue-collar life and all its weight
                                E
I was right there and I was too late
 
 
[Outro]
      A
I was too late
      E
I was too late
A
Too late
