[Verse 1]
 
E*                 D
Bitter sweet thing, could this be a dream
D                                A       E
Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake
E*                 D
Feel it in my brain, tall shot of pain
D                              A           E
Pour a little up now, for the love that we made
E*                     D
I feel it in the morning, you're still here in the morning
D                                            A        E
I see you, but you gone. Telephone the doctor, I'm not okay
E*                      D
The bottom of the bottle, to fill this empty heart up
D
A thousand proof don't change the truth
A          E
I dive in, but I can't
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        E         D
I can't drink you away
           D
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim,
           A           E
I've tried all of his friends
             E         D
But I can't drink you away
          D                                A              E
All these rocks, I can't swim out of this skin I'm living in, say
E                 D                              D
Now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break
A    E                 D
Ohh, tell me baby, oh yeah
                                 D                  A    E
Now don't they make a medicine for heart break
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E*                                D
Got a pounding on my brain, so I drowned it away
D                                         A                E
When the sun comes up tomorrow, You can find me doing the same
E*                                        D
'Cause I just can't forget, The way we turned out this bed
D                                             A              E
And now the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead
E*                                  D
I feel it in the morning, you're still here in the morning
D                                              A        E
I see you, but you gone. Telephone the doctor, I'm not okay
E*                            D
The bottom of the bottle, to fill this empty heart up
D                                            A             E
A thousand proof don't change the truth, I dive in, but I can't
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        E         D
I can't drink you away
           D
I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim,
           A           E
I've tried all of his friends
             E         D
But I can't drink you away
          D                                A              E
All these rocks, I can't swim out of this skin I'm living in, say
E                 D                              D
Now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break
A    E                 D
Ohh, tell me baby, oh yeah
                                 D                  A    E
Now don't they make a medicine for heart break
