Verse 1:
B7B7 E7E7
Well, you'll never see me dying
B7B7 E7E7
On screen or microscope
B7B7 E7E7
I'll be the first to laugh it off
C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE
To not be the brunt of your joke
Verse 2:
B7B7 E7E7
Let me make a mistake
B7B7 E7E7
It'll pay for its own cost
B7B7 E7E7
'Cause regret is like an infant
C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE
That won't let you sleep it off
Chorus:
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
Checking in to a hospital
B7B7 E7E7 B7B7
Where the nurse is earth and sky
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
Fighting against my flesh and blood
B7B7 E7E7 B7B7
There's nothing I won't try
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
Even heartache looks so easy
G#m6G#m6 Emaj7/G#
To a pair of grieving eyes
BB (riff) E MajorE
I am always one man down
BB (riff) E MajorE
I am always one man down
B7B7 E7E7 B7B7 E7E7
And dressed up
Verse 3:
B7B7 E7E7
I am an antenna
B7B7 E7E7
A augmentedA feeding tube and a hard drive
B7B7 E7E7
Entertaining myself to death
C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE
To maintain some sort of life
Verse 4:
B7B7 E7E7
Staring up at a concrete roof thinking
B7B7 E7E7
It could fall any minute
B7B7 E7E7
The fault line can't be reasoned with
C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE
No matter what the house has in it
Chorus:
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
Checking in to a hospital
B7B7 E7E7 B7B7
Where the nurse is church and state
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
The cure has got that oxygen
B7B7 E7E7 B7B7
We're all looking to taste
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
With the face lines of a moth's wings
G#m6G#m6 Emaj7/G#
I want more time to waste
BB (riff) E MajorE
I am always one man down
BB (riff) E MajorE
I am always one man down
G#m6G#m6
And dressed up

Verse 5:
B7B7 E7E7
If my mind's an orphanage
B7B7 E7E7
You're not in the market to mind
B7B7 E7E7
Living like this is
C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE
Just no way to die
Outro:
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
Put it in terms I can understand
B7B7 E7E7 B7B7
This wound is all I've got
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
But I can't disconnect my hand
C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA E MajorE
From the damage that it's brought
C#m7C#m7 F#7F#7
Well, the straight face on this cruel place
G#m6G#m6 Emaj7/G#
It just won't crack or break
BB (riff) E MajorE
And I am always one man down
BB (riff) E MajorE
I am always one man down
BB
And fed up
