[Intro]
A E F#m D

[Verse 1]
A                E          F#m                    A         E
The church bells got louder as the wind pushed the back door open
A        E         F#m                  D
A rumour on Monday will be gospel this coming Sunday
A                 E            F#m        A      E
Now my morse code is rusty and I may be a little high
A               E       F#m                     D
But I decoded a message from that light in your mother's eye

[Chorus]
A
It’s not healing like they said it would
C#m
It’s not healing like they said it would
D                                  F#m       E
It’s not healing like they said it would
        Bm                         D              A
But the last laugh’s on you ‘cause I didn’t learn anything

[Verse 2]
A             E            F#m           A       E
Wear loss like a cheap suit at a shotgun wedding dance
A            E          F#m              D
Memorabilia, medication face down but at least you tried

[Chorus]
A
It’s not healing like they said it would
C#m
It’s not healing like they said it would
D                                  F#m       E
It’s not healing like they said it would
        Bm                         D              A
But the last laugh’s on you ‘cause I didn’t learn anything

[Middle 8]
         D    C#m  F#m     Bm
When you need me - I won’t be there
         D    C#m  F#m     E
When you need me - I won’t be there
         D                    A
When you need someone to feel second best
     D                  A
To assemble failures at your behest
     D                   A
To assess your loss in a deeper sense
          F#m    Bm                   F#m           Bm
I will be there, try and stop me from being there
                     F#m          E
Try and stop me from being there

[Chorus]
A
It’s not healing like they said it would
C#m
It’s not healing like they said it would
D                                  F#m       E
It’s not healing like they said it would
        Bm                         D              A
But the last laugh’s on you ‘cause I didn’t learn anything
