[Verse]
       Am                        Em
It's funny how people stare
                   Am                        Em
When your back's against the wall
       Am                        Em
It's funny how people stare
                   Am                        Em
When your back's against the wall

I reach out my hand
    Em
I reach out my hand
Am                 Em
For that bad medicine

[Chorus]
       Em              Am     D      Em
The clocks are full of heroes
Em                      Am                  D         Em
Propping up the bar with their empty ghosts
      Em                  Am
It's dirty and it's raining
              D                         Em
And the porno burns my eyes
Em                   Am
Wipe away the tear
               D                    Em
With the skin from my hide

[Post-Chorus]
Am           Em                   Am
Don't you give into that bad medicine
Em
Keep on smiling

I've heard about this new world you're building

But will there be room for me?

It's dirty and it's raining

And the porno burns my eyes
Em                   Am
Wipe away the tear

With the skin from my hide
Em       Am               D     Em
Reach out for that bad medicine

Feel your soul turn

Smile, it may take a while

But it's better than being nailed to the floor

Spit in their face if they stare while you're down

Try smiling or smile or smile

Bad medicine get hold of

Bad medicine get hold of you
