 I met  her down at the apothecary
 Her sad  sad eyes, the burden  she carried
 Oh darling,  try this one if you need a friend
I've  got the cure  for the shape  that you're in
 When you met  me you were numb from the voice  in your head
 Conspiracy  delusions that your boyfriend  kept fed
 I swear  I want nothing, just give me your hand
I've  got the cure  for the shape  that you're in
 With her saccharine  luster, she's a hard  little pill
 But she eased  me and taught my hands  to be still
 Just once  in the morning, and evening again
She  had the cure  for the shape  I was in
 I met  her down at the apothecary
 Her sad  sad eyes, the burden  she carried
 Oh darling,  try this one if you need a friend
I've  got the cure  for the shape  that you're in
 Just repeat chords from last verse]
 All delusions  of grandeur, they've long  left my head
 As I gave  up the notion that I've  been well bred
 First she shot  me with Whiskey, then chased me with Gin
 But swore  I was the cure  for the shape  she was in
 Then she left  me here reeling with that time-release feeling
 Like a long  wisp of hunger, I swung  from the ceiling
 So if you  see me down at the apothecary again
 I can't  find a cure  for the shape  that I'm in.
 I met  her down at the apothecary
 Her sad  sad eyes, the burden  she carried
 Oh darling,  try this one if you need a friend
I've  got the cure  for the shape  that you're in
I've  got the cure  for the shape  that you're in

I [G]met her down at the a[F]pothec[C]ary
Her [G]sad sad eyes, the b[F]urden she c[C]arried
Oh d[C]arling, try this one if you need a [F]friend
[F]I've got the [C]cure for the [G]shape that you're [C]in

When you [G]met me you were numb from the [F]voice in your [C]head
Con[G]spiracy delusions that your [F]boyfriend kept [C]fed
I [C]swear I want nothing, just give me your [F]hand
[F]I've got the [C]cure for the [G]shape that you're [C]in

With her [G]saccharine luster, she's a [F]hard little [C]pill
But she [G]eased me and taught my ha[F]nds to be s[C]till
Just [C]once in the morning, and evening ag[F]ain
[F]She had the [C]cure for the [G]shape I was [C]in

I [G]met her down at the a[F]pothec[C]ary

All de[G]lusions of grandeur, they've [F]long left my [C]head
As I g[G]ave up the notion that [F]I've been well [C]bred
First she [C]shot me with Whiskey, then chased me with [F]Gin

Then she [G]left me here reeling with that ti[F]me-release [C]feeling
Like a [G]long wisp of hunger, I [F]swung from the [C]ceiling
So if [C]you see me down at the apothecary a[F]gain
I [F]can't find a [C]cure for the [G]shape that I'm [C]in.

I [G]met her down at the a[F]pothec[C]ary
Her [G]sad sad eyes, the b[F]urden she c[C]arried
Oh d[C]arling, try this one if you need a [F]friend
[F]I've got the [C]cure for the [G]shape that you're [C]in
[F]I've got the [C]cure for the [G]shape that you're [F]in    [C]
