Medicine Wheel / Aimee Mann

Intro – Em / D / C / Bm / A 

     G                       D
The day you left and you called me bitch
     Em                         C
I called you selfish - Better pull that switch
G   F            C             F-C
    Put my son on amphetamines
    G                      D
He came home cryin’ and there’s your proof 
   Em                       C 
Crying ‘bout nothing but missing tooth
G   F               C      F-C
    I did the right thing
      D         
You shade the truth almost every day
  Em             D               C
Phone calls at night, “It’s gonna be OK”

           G
Are you signing, baby, 
F            C    F-C 
Under the bridge? 
           G
Are you signing, baby, 
F          C    F-C 
On Lake Street? 
Em
Black marker on cardboard
        C             C/B      Am
Little drawing of a medicine wheel 
          G              D          C 
Well, everything that’s given you steal
    G              D          C
Everything that’s given, you steal

G                       D
Maybe you’ll wake up in jail alone
Em                         C
And hold the handle of the one pay phone
G   F                 C     F-C
    And do the right thing 
     G                     D     
Like I once tried though I bent the truth 
    Em                      C
A five dollar debt for a little lost tooth 
G     F                      C         F-C    
      There’s a payback in front of me 
        D
‘Cause once you were like a walking heart, 
 Em           D                  C
Breaking in motion through the parking lot 

[CHORUS] 

[SOLO – use the same progression as the verse] 

D
Words of encouragement are just as real 
Em        D          C  
Same effect as a smooth blue pill 

[CHORUS] 

      G             D         C
Everything that’s given you steal
      G             D         C
Everything that’s given you steal 
    G       D  Em  C  G
From me.
