Bsus2 Dmaj7
All the pretty girls in the foreground of my mind
Bsus2 Dmaj7
I thought I'd done enough, but they keep moving the line

I thought I found the antidote this time

Feeling so alone, might as well be on the moon

I thought I found the antidote with you
G5 D
I thought I found the antidote with you
[Chorus]
Em
But my head is full of poison
G
And my heart is full of doubt
D
I got toxins in my bloodstream
D/C#
You tried hard to suck them out
Em
And it feels like medication
G
And it's good for me I'm sure

But it don't matter how your love feels anymore
Em G
It'll never be the cure
D D/C#
It'll never be the cure

Used to play a game in my head when I'd date a guy

Tally up the girls that he fucked 'til I start to cry

I thought I found the antidote this time

I'm unraveled, I'm unraveled

I'm unraveled, I'm unraveled
[Chorus]
Em
And my head is full of poison

And my heart is full of doubt

I got toxins in my bloodstream

You tried hard to suck them out

And it feels like medication

And it's good for me I'm sure

But it don't matter how your love feels anymore

It'll never be the cure

It'll never be the cure, ohh-oh

'Cause baby, I'm unraveled, I'm unraveled

I'm unraveled, I'm unraveled

Why can't you come stitch me up?

Why can't it ever be enough?

It's not enough

All because my head is full of poison

I got toxins in my bloodstream

You tried so hard to suck out

And it feels like medication

And it's good for me I'm sure

But it don't matter how your love feels anymore

It'll never be the cure
It'll never be
