e E e B
did you fall out of your family tree
e A a B
here’s a kiss to mend your knee
A B E(0) A B
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes
e E e B
how long did you think you’d last
e A a B
with your sleeping pills and laughing gas
A B E(0)
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes
F#m
throw your hats at the moon in georges square,
F#m [sl.up] A A G#m F#m
was that ever us
F#m
climbing walls giving names to the stars
A B
was that ever us
e E e B
and if you come home with me,
e A a B
I’ll slip a little something in your tea
A B E(0)
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes
e E e B
you’ve been hanging out in casualty
e A a B
for shooting too much mercury
A B E(0) B A
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes
e E e B
oh and if you come home with me,
e A a B
I’ll score for you if you score for me
A B E(0)
everybody needs some kind of medicine sometimes

This arrangement is quite different from Eddi Reader’s album version, but
it sounds roughly like how a guitar arrangement of this song should do.
Improvements welcome.
