A beautiful song evoking the horror of someone you love lying injured on a hospital bed
This song is strummed very lightly on the highest four strings, with on/off muting with
the barré finger. If you don't like barré chords ignore the sharps and play it Dm, C and
Gm with an F in the bridge.
D#m
You got wires going in
C#
You got wires coming out of your skin
D#m
You got tears making tracks
C#
I got tears that are scared of the facts
G#m
Running down corridors through automatic doors
D#m C#
Got to get to you, got to see this through
G#m
I seen hope is here in a plastic box
D#m C#
I seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes
