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

chords :
E A D G B E
12 14 14 13 12 12 - E
7 9 9 8 7 7 - B
5 7 7 6 5 5 - A
0 2 2 1 0 0 - E(0)
2 4 4 2 2 2 - F#m
4 6 6 4 4 4 - G#m
[sl.up] is slide up from F#m to A
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.
