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