Well, you'll never see me dying

On screen or microscope

  I'll be the first to laugh it off

To not be the brunt of your joke

It'll pay for its own cost

Checking in to a hospital
          B7                 E7  B7
Where the nurse is earth and sky
C#m7                F#7
Fighting against my flesh and blood

There's nothing I won't try
     C#m7               F#7
Even heartache looks so easy

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

I am always one man down
               G#m6
And dressed up

Verse 5:
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
