A
I met her down
         G    D
at the apothecary
      A
with sad sad eyes
     G          D
the burden she carried

    D           D7

              D

     A                D
the shape that you're in

          A
when you met me you were numb
          G             D
from the voice in your head
         A
the conspiracy delusions
            G             D
that your boyfriend kept fed

      D            D7
oh i swear i want nothin
                   G
just give me your hand
              D
i've got the cure for
     A                D
the shape that you're in

      A
your saccharin luster
      G           D
is a hard little pill
     A
she eats me to talk
      G           D
like hands to be still

      D           D7
just once in the morning;
             G
the evening again
               D
she's got the cure for
     A             D
the shape that i'm in

   A
I met her down
         G     D

      A

     G          D

     A                D
the shape that you're in

      A
all delusions of grandeur
     G            D
had long left my head
   A
i split with the notion
      G              D
that i've been well read

     D              D7
she shoots me with whiskey
                    G
and chases me with gin
                   D
she swears im the cure for
     A               D
the shape that she's in

          A
when she left me, reeling,
           G            D
with that time release feeling
        A
like a low whisper thunder
   G             D
i hung from the ceiling

 D             D7
i'll be found down
                   G
at the apothecary again
                D
can't find the cure
         A             D
for the shape that i'm in

   A
I met her down
        G     D
