Dm       A


Dm                        A
   In this town I work so hard
A7                                        Dm
Put breakfast on the table and gas in the car
Gm                                   C      C7
  She's working at the Food Mart 'til after two
      F                        A              A7    
The kids watch too much tv but what you gonna do?


        Dm                           A
And the guy on his phone he talks so loud
A7                           Dm
It's an oratory man he ain't proud
Gm                                  C7
The mortgage payment's tripled then sub prime's hit
F                             A                   A7
He's always been in a job and now that don't mean shit

D                                G
Well the sugar coated pill, the sugar coated pill
C                         F         A
Take one every morning to cure your ill
D                                 G
Well the sugar coated pill, the sugar coated pill
C                                 F*   C*    F*      
If sugar don't get you, then the pill sure will

         Dm                                                      A                                     
Well the waitress calls you sweetheart and asks you where you're from
A7                                    Dm
Her voice is surrender, her smile is warm
Gm                                C               C7
Her boy is playing football, she says he's pretty good
F                            A                   A7    
And if he keeps it up he can afford to stay in school
 
 Dm                                          A
Meanwhile the great and gilded way up on the mount
A7                                    Dm
Got all of your best interests in their bank account
Gm                                C                     C7
It's music to your ears when they say they've got your back
     F                              A
Just don't outstay your welcome, or have a heart attack
 

[CHORUS]
D                                G
Well the sugar coated pill, the sugar coated pill

Well the sugar coated pill, the sugar coated pill
C                                 F*   C*    F*      
If sugar don't get you, then the pill sure will
 

A         A7


        Dm*                Dm*            A*
Well God is the glory, the power, and the grace
     A7*                              Dm
He's got all the best lawyers, and he eats from golden plates
          Gm                             C7
And he'll tell you what is secret, put a flag upon your pole
      F                             A              A7
Then sell you air and water for the price of your gold
