Intro FM7, Em7, Am4, C* (x2) .... FM7*, EmM6, Am4, C (x2)
[strum on 6/8 rhythm]
FM7 Em7 Am4 C
And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
FM7 Em7 Am4 C
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
[strum once, then to pick]
FM7 Em7 Am4
And I rationed my breathes as I said to myself that I'd already taken
C*
too much today
FM7 Em7 Am4 C*
As each descending peak of the LCD took you a little farther away from me
FM7* EmM6 Am4 C (x2)
Away from me
[strum once, then to pick...still]
FM7 Em7 Am4
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we
C*
only say goodbye
FM7 Em7 Am4 C*
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
FM7* EmM6 Am4
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never
C
lain beside at all
FM7 Em7 Am4 C*
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself
[strum on 6/8 rhythm]
Dm F Am Em
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Dm F Am Em
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
Dm Am Am Em
And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
Dm FM3(A,Ab,G,Gb,F) Am
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching
FM3 cccc.....
someone die"
C** cccc.... x2 FM7 cccc.... x2
