Well, you'll never see me dying

On screen or microscope

Checking in to a hospital

Where the nurse is earth and sky
C#m7                F#7
Fighting against my flesh and blood

There's nothing I won't try

Even heartache looks so easy

To a pair of grieving eyes
B (riff)            E
I am always one man down

I am always one man down
    B7         E7    B7    E7
And dressed up


Verse 3:
B7          E7
  I am an antenna
  B7                      E7
A feeding tube and a hard drive
B7               E7
  Entertaining myself to death
       C#m               A E
To maintain some sort of life


Verse 4:
B7                E7
  Staring up at a concrete roof thinking
B7                E7
It could fall any minute
B7                        E7
  The fault line can't be reasoned with

No matter what the house has in it

C#m7             F#7
Checking in to a hospital
          B7                  E7   B7
Where the nurse is church and state
    C#m7              F#7
The cure has got that oxygen
      B7             E7   B7
We're all looking to taste
         C#m7            F#7
With the face lines of a moth's wings
            G#m6    Emaj7/G#
I want more time to waste
B (riff)            E
I am always one man down

               G#m6
And dressed up

B7                E7
  If my mind's an orphanage
       B7                   E7
You're not in the market to mind
B7            E7
  Living like this is
C#m            A  E
Just no way to die

C#m7                  F#7
Put it in terms I can understand
      B7               E7  B7
This wound is all I've got
    C#m7         F#7
But I can't disconnect my hand
         C#m7             A   E
From the damage that it's brought
           C#m7                 F#7
Well, the straight face on this cruel place
   G#m6                Emaj7/G#
It just won't crack or break
    B (riff)            E
And I am always one man down
B (riff)            E
I am always one man down
    B
And fed up
