Medicine Wheel / Aimee Mann

Intro –  /  /  /  /  

                            
The day you left and you called me bitch
                              
I called you selfish - Better pull that switch
                            -
    Put my son on amphetamines
                          
He came home cryin’ and there’s your proof 
                           
Crying ‘bout nothing but missing tooth
                        -
    I did the right thing
               
You shade the truth almost every day
                              
Phone calls at night, “It’s gonna be OK”

           
Are you signing, baby, 
                - 
Under the bridge? 
           
Are you signing, baby, 
              - 
On Lake Street? 

Black marker on cardboard
                           
Little drawing of a medicine wheel 
                                   
Well, everything that’s given you steal
                            
Everything that’s given, you steal

                       
Maybe you’ll wake up in jail alone
                         
And hold the handle of the one pay phone
                         -
    And do the right thing 
                               
Like I once tried though I bent the truth 
                          
A five dollar debt for a little lost tooth 
                                    -    
      There’s a payback in front of me 
        
‘Cause once you were like a walking heart, 
                              
Breaking in motion through the parking lot 

[CHORUS] 

[SOLO – use the same progression as the verse] 


Words of encouragement are just as real 
                    
Same effect as a smooth blue pill 

[CHORUS] 

                            
Everything that’s given you steal
                            
Everything that’s given you steal 
                 
From me.
