Verse 1:
A           B
Dirty laundry
B
Hangin' out with the white lies 'til they're clean sheets
A               B
Testin' loyalties
B
Please don't make, make me choose sides when you leave me
A
Band-Aids for all my scraped knees
B
Blankets when I had bad dreams
A                                 E
Felt like nothin' could hurt me 'til you hurt me
 

A
I wish there was a sugarcoated pill for it
B
I wish you had some words that wouldn't make me sick
A
'Cause this time you can't make it all better again
B              E
Now is now and that was then
 
Chorus:
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
 
Verse 2:
A
Empty bottles
B
Strawberry syrup too easy to swallow
A
But what did I know?
B
Plot twist twistin' my heart 'til it's hollow
A
Band-Aids for all my scraped knees
B
Blankets when I had bad dreams
A                               E
Felt like nothin' could hurt me 'til you hurt me
 
 
A
I wish there was a sugarcoated pill for it
B
I wish you had some words that wouldn't make me sick
A
'Cause this time you can't make it all better again
A                             E
Now is now and that was then, that was then
 
Chorus:
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine (-Icine, -icine)
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
 
Bridge:
Dbm              Abm              Gbm
And no, I'm not, oh, no, I'm not, oh, not okay
Dbm              Abm              Gbm
And no, I'm not, oh, no, I'm not, oh, not okay
 
End:
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine (-Icine, -icine)
A                       B
You can't, you can't be my medicine
