[Verse 1]

C
Bless that medicine
Am G/B C
For bringing ’round that click in your head
Am G/B C F
Better off high than dead
Am G/B C
When you are stripped bare
Am G/B C F
When you have settled your affairs
C
Dressed in white, like a bride
Am G/B C F
Or a new believer

[Pre-Chorus]

Am G
Holding a handful of dust

[Chorus 1]

C G C F
What else can we trust?
Am G C F
What else can we trust?

[Verse 2]

C Am G/B C
It’s all that’s left for us
Am G/B C
When you are back on the line
Am G/B C F
The lost stillness in your mind
C
Almost seized me
Am G/B C F
And all of this tedious talk
C
It’s cheap; It’s easy

[Pre-Chorus]

Am G
Holding a handful of dust

[Chorus 2]

C G C F
What else can we trust?
Am G C F
It’s all that’s left for us

[Bridge]

C
Anyway
G
Anyway, oh-oh
Am G C F
Yeah, some hell’s put a peace on me
Am G C F
And it still feels like there are hooks in me
Am G C F
But the silence turns up the curse in me

[Interlude/Solo]

C C Am G/B C
(x8)

[Outro]

C
Bless that medicine
Am G/B C
For bringing ’round that click in your head
Am G/B C
Better off high than dead
