Please mind, that this is the acoustic version, originally played on piano,
but it works great on acoustic Guitar too. Course the Piano can't be transposed, 
but I'm a lazy keayboarder and ultimate guitar can make the job, if you want to play it on Piano. 
*For a detailled Piano description, look below the chords.


Capo 1 /Transpose +1

Intro:
A Am D 

           A        E           F#m
You got me one more time on the telephone
        Hm        F#m        E
I had a hard time making the call
            A      E       F#m
What you're dying about is drying me out
            Hm        F#m        E      
And what is coming is taking control
A  E       F#m       Hm F#m     E          
 After you laid off    your medication
