The chords pattern stays the same throughout the whole song. The C-D-C transition is actually a walk-down on the D sting that's played like this E--------------| B--------------| G--------------| D----5-4-2-0---| A--------------| E--------------| G So, I?m just the medicine C D C G You take when you?re sick C D C G You get well and that?s it C Am D I?m put back on the shelf in your mirror And it isn?t exceptional The course of our fate So, people love and they hate And I guess it?s just our turn to hate Yeah, you were just some song I wrote A poem on a page A sculpture I made out of clay Desire was the flame But now you?re more of a basketball Boys just pass you around They bounce you hard on the ground and dribble And then we all get high fives And you think I?m an asshole now Well, you?re probably right But at least I?m not blind to the facts I?ve been wishing were lies But still I hope you get everything That you care to possess And unbelievable sex with him Or any one of my friends But just don?t ask about my appetite I didn?t lose it tonight No, it?s been gone half my life It?s just act, I?ve been eating for you
