Damien Jurado – Medication chords

   CIt just so happens I have many concerns

My brother's down the road and my lover in town
     Fadd4*
They both need affection
                 CAnd some kind of love
     Fadd4*
Well I'm the one who gives it at any given time

From two in the morning to six
               CCall me up and cry

   CMy lover keeps it secret that we meet under covers

When asked by her man if we two are lovers
    Fadd4*
She says, "I hardly know him.
                     CBesides, he's not my type."
    Fadd4*
Her man's a policeman with a keen sense of trouble

He's known to spot danger
                 CAnd all kinds of liars

   CMy brother called this morning in a terrible panic

Spies in the closet, bugs in the attic
   Fadd4*
He screams bloody murder saying,
                 C"We're all gonna die."
    Fadd4*
And death is upon me, I know 'cause he showed me
                                   CPictures of graveyards and us underneath.
    Fadd4*
I'm losing my hearing from my brother screaming,

"They're coming to get me.
                     CCan someone call the police?"

CTwo in the morning, the phone disconnected

Her man knows I'm calling, it's what I expected
  Fadd4*                                   CA note on my backdoor saying, "Baby, not tonight."
     Fadd4*
So I sit with my brother who is nursing a cut wrist

He's mumbling "Forgive me."
                            CAnd "Don't let them take me away."
Fadd4*
I can be a good boy and stay out of trouble

Jackie I love you and
                         CDon't let them take your brother

CStrapped to a table, go in the electrodes

"Jackie come save me the doctors will kill me."
Fadd4*
No, they're here to help you
                    CStraighten out your mind."
    Fadd4*
The TV is blaring with some preacher saying that
                                 CGod is among us and he hears our cries
Fadd4*
Lord, do me a favor

It's wrong but I ask you
                  CTake my brother's life
Fadd4*
'Cause he's sick of the suffering

The pills he's inhaling

The cross he is bearing
                     CThat is his troubled mind
