Am F C G x2
Chorus:
Am F
Suddenly every machine stopped at once
C G
And the monitors beeped the last time
Am F
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds
C G
And all of them empty but mine
Verse 1:
Am F
Well
I was lying down with my feet in the air
C G
Completely unable to move
Am F
The bed was misshapen and awkward and tall
C G
And clearly intended for you
Verse 2:
Am F
You checked yourself out when you put me to bed
C G
And tore that old band off your wrist
Am F
But you came back to see me for a minute or less
C G
And left me your ring in my fist
Verse 3:
Am F
My hair started growing, my face became yours
C G
My femur was breaking in half
Am F
The sensation was scissors and too much to scream
C G
So instead
I just started to laugh
Chorus:
Am F
Suddenly every machine stopped at once
C G
And the monitors beeped the last time
Am F
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds
C G
And all of them empty but mine
