The Next Four Months Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Maybe we could [D]break your ankle,
[Em]clean and unsuspi[C]ciously.
[G]An ER trip, [D]a doctor's slip,
and [Em]you could share your p[C]ills w[G]ith [Am]me.
[C]Won't it feel so goo[G]d, though,
when we're [D]lying [Em]side [C]by[Em] side[C],
when you can't [G]move,
when I'm not [D]trying?[Em]
[G]2000 milligrams [C]each.
[D]A hotel

[Verse 2]
[G]by the[D] pharmacy with drink
[Em]ing straws in to[C]othpaste tubes.
[G]Stash them with [D]your toiletries and [Em]I
will share my [C]pills [G]with [Am]you.[G][C]
Little Michael [G]sleeping in
[D]the child safety [Em]seat,[C]
lying with [G]the windows rolled up[D],
in the August [Em]heat.
[G]3000 milligrams [C]each,
[Em]4000[G] milligrams.
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]We're driving down the in[D]terstate,
you're feel[Em]ing great, you [C]scratch your wrist,
[D]and [G]we pretend your kid[D]s, your husband,
[Em]all you left does [C]not [Em]exist.
[Am]When[Em] in s[C]ome motel
[G]that night we're ly [D]ing[Em],
[C]I can barely whi[G]sper it's like dyi[D]ng.
[Em]Baby, do you [G]know what I [C]mean? [Em]Baby,
[G]did you [C]hear me? [Em]Baby, [G]you fell asleep.
[C]

[Verse 4]
[D]I k[G]now I'm weak,
I [D]won't deny [Em]we'll see our trial some[C]time soon.
But [G]when we know we're [D]fucked,
I'll half the [Em]pile and share my [C]pills [Em]with [Am]you.
Cause [C]we've felt fully [G]in our bodies,
[Am]and we've felt [F]totally alive,
so [C]we're prepared to [G]float above this
[Am]dirty bed where [F]we [Am]both [Dm]lie.
Where we [F]lie, lie, [Dm]lie. [F]Will [G]we be fine? [Dm]Not t[G]his

[Outro 1]
