Em
Doc do I really need it, is it ok to feed it
Em D
One little taste and it follows me home
Em
Doc will it save my soul, band-aid on a bullet hole
Em D
Real life with no parole, no time left to roam
Em C G D
How much more of this medication till you get your paid vacation
Em C G D
Your clean get away, you place under the sun
Em C G D
Doc how about your life, do you give it to your wife
Em C G D
Something to steady the knife when you're under the gun, having fun
Chorus:
Am C
And I can't stop thinking you're holding back
Am C
I can't stop thinking you're holding back
Am C Em C G D
I can't stop thinking you're holding back
Doc will this do me right, will I sleep through the night
Do you think I might not wake up at all
It's such a bitter pill, I guess it's sweeter still
Even though the bottom there's a long way to fall
Doc how about a chaser for your prescribed eraser
Don't you think the truth is too much for my will
I got my eyes wide open, my throat is choking
And both my hands are broken trying to get my fill, sweeter still
Chorus
Guitar
Em
Come on, I can take it cause I've been looking forward
Em D
And I can't see a reason to wait another day
Em
Come on give it to me straight, have I got long to wait
Em D
How much longer till it carries me away
Doc will this cloud my eyes, stifle my cries
I hope you realize it all comes down to this
If I don't get my turn, it's gonna make me burn
And I'm not going to walk away without my goodnight kiss, remember this
Chorus
You're holding back, stop holding back
You're holding back, stop holding back
You're holding back, stop holding back
You're holding back, stop holding back
You're holding back, stop holding back
You're holding back, stop holding back
You're holding back, stop holding back
Stop holding back
Stop holding back
Come on doc, who's side are you on
