Am F2 Em
Am F2 Em
don't lie to me just tell me something true
G Am F2 Em
'cause i'm only free when i look at you
F2 G Am
and you look so good it hurts
F2 G C
and love, i come un--done
[Chorus]
Dm Em
but i don't want medication
F2 G
just give me liberation
Dm Am G
even if it cuts my legs right out from underneath
Dm Em
don't give me medication
F2 G
i want the real sensation
Dm Am G
even when living feels just like death to me

Am F2 Em
don't paint my face i need to see the scars

F2 Am
‘cause the truth is i need you
C
just like the air i breathe

just like a freight train needs the tracks beneath
F2 Dm
so i'd rather suffer my whole life
C
and be this rich man's wife
G4
if loving you means suffering
[Chorus]
Dm Em
but i don't want medication
F2 G
just give me liberation
Dm Am G
even if it cuts my legs right out from underneath
Dm Em

even when living feels just like death to me
