[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 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

Now don't they make a medicine for heart break
              Bitter sweet thing.
Could this be a dream
Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake?
Feel it in my brain.
A tall shot of pain.
Pour a little OUT now for the love that we've made.

I feel it in the morning.
You’re still here in the morning.
I see you but you're gone
Telephone a doctor: I’m not okay.
The bottom of the bottle
To fill this empty heart up.
A thousand proof
Don’t change the truth.
I dive in but I can’t.

I can’t drink you away.
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends.
But I can’t drink you away.
All these rocks
I can’t swim
Out of this skin
I'm living in.
Say

Now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break, ooh?
Tell me, baby, oh, yeah, now don't they make a medicine for heart break?

Got a pounding on my brain.
So I drowned it away.
When the sun comes up tomorrow you can find me doing the same.
'Cause I just can’t forget
The way we turned out this bad/bed.
And now the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead.

And then I feel it in the morning.
You’re still here in the morning.
I see you but you're gone.
Telephone a doctor: I’m not okay.
Bottom of the bottle
To fill this empty heart up.
A thousand proof
Don’t change the truth.
I dive in but I can’t.

I can’t drink you away.
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends.
But I can’t drink you away (no, I can't).
All these rocks
I can’t swim
Out of this skin
I'm living in.
Say

Tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break?
Oh, tell me, baby, one time, come on, don't they make a medicine for heart break?

Break it down

I can’t drink you. No, I can’t drink you away, away.
I can’t drink you. I can’t drink you away, away.
I can’t drink you. I can’t drink you away, away.
Oh, I can’t drink you. No, I can’t drink you away, away.

I can’t drink you away.
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends.
But I can’t drink you away.
All these rocks
I can’t swim
Out of this skin
I'm living in.
Say

So tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break (don't they, don't they, tell me, baby)?
Oh, tell me baby, one time, don't they make a medicine for heart break, yeah?

Tell me, baby, can't they make a medicine for my heart break, heart break?
Tell me, baby, yeah, can't they make a medicine for my heart break?

'Cause I can't drink you away.
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends.
I can’t drink you away.
All these rocks
I can’t swim
Out of this skin
I'm living in.
