I Went To The Hospital
Cass McCombs


Intro: E  C#m7 (x2)

E           C#m7
    I dare not cough
E            C#m7
    Nor breathe deep
A                     F#m7
    There?s been a pain in my chest
A             F#m7
    for nearly a week
E             C#m7      E          C#m7
    I want to be famous for falling in love
A             F#m7      A          F#m7
    I want to be famous for falling in love

B                  G#7
     I went to the hospital
C#m                  A
     They put me in a bed
B                 G#7
     Because I always do
C#m              A
     what my mother says
B     Cm          C#m         A
     Why should I lie about results of a test?


E            C#m7
    I may soon be gone
E            C#m7
    To pluck on a harp
A                  F#m7
    Like those colored pencil portraits of dogs
A            F#m7
    we saw on a blue tarp
E                C#m7            E       C#m7
    But I spotted a damsel  ---- if memory serves
A              F#m7            A       F#m7
    I spotted a damsel  ---- if memory serves

E                C#m7
    So  --  Who is your provider?
E                C#m7
    Where?d you get that bread?
A               F#m7
    Is it dying that terrified you?
A           F#m7
    Or just being dead?
E              C#m7        E       C#m7
    We are living in ---- an era of kings
A              F#m7        A       F#m7
    We are living in ---- an era of kings


B                  G#7
