Get up early when a sleeping pill wakes me, take a wake up pill and fill with energy
A                   E                   Bm                      D
         I power on hard and I check my messages,         but I don't have any messages
A                       E                 Bm                          D
I take driving pill and head to my car,    I drive around a bit cause work isn't very far
A                   E                    Bm                     D
          I call my phone and I check my messages,        but I don't have any messages
E                   G                      D                      A
All I know       is driving on drugs feels better when they're prescription
E                   G                      D                       E
All I know   is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful

I feel fantastic,   and I never felt as good as how 
A                            D                 E
I do right now except for maybe when I think of 
      C#m       F#m        D        Bm7(b5)      A                A
how I felt that day when I felt the way that I do right now

Work is anything but quiet these days, I try to medicate my concentration haze
A                    E                Bm                    D
      I can feel the day   unfold   infront of me,     so I take the stairs and hit the gym
A                           E              Bm                           D
The phone is ringing when I get to my desk, what was a stinging's now a sharp pain in my chest
A                    E                 Bm                 D
         So I take a Calminex and just chill,             then it's time for lunch again
E                    G                     D                      A
All I know        is work is easy when you don't stress out about deadlines
E                    G                   D              E
All I know      is I take my medicine, I always take my medicine

           Sometimes I'd like to slow things down,       enjoy the moment

Work is over but I can't stay to work late,  got to leave and get ready for my second date
A                  E                      Bm                      D
     With a pretty girl that I met at the pharmacy,               right in the prescription line
A                    E                     Bm                     D
I take a pill for my social anxiety,            I get a table and nice bottle of Chablis
A                  E                         Bm                   D
  Now it's getting late and there's still no sign of her,       I have another glass of wine
E                  G                         D                         A
All I know  is the wine last longer when you don't gotta share it with someone
E                  G                          D                         E
All I know   is my steak tastes better when I take my steak tastes better pill
