SayWeCanFly – The Art Of Anesthesia (Ukulele)

Am                             C
   Sometimes I think about who I should believe

    F
The people who are dead or the people who are free

Am                               C
   Sometimes I hear them as they whisper to me

  F
I try to stay awake so I won't die in my sleep

Am                           C
   And I was quick to take a second look through

    F
The window on the door of the operating room

         Am            C
And the adrenaline, it threw my eyes

       F
To the table on the floor where the patients lie

  Am                 C
I saw his face and I could not speak

       F
As the anesthetic kissed his cheek

          Am                  C
I felt my lips go cold and my limbs go weak

            F                                            Am C   F
Because the body on the table where the patients die was me

       Am C   F
It was me

Am              G      F
Give me back my oxygen mask ('Cause I don't want to)

Am                   Em    F
Feel the walls of my heart collapse (So put me under)

Am             G           F
I would sooner die on this table (Than face what)

Am           Em        F
Causes me to be so unstable

Am                            C
   There was a lie between my demons and me

      F
And a body made of paper in the passenger seat

     Am                C
As I opened my eyes, I could not see

           F*
I felt the stitches come loose and the blood run free

Am                      C
   And as my thoughts began to shake

           F
I felt the hand of the darkness kiss my face

             Am                   C
And then the devil woke up and he grabbed my throat

             F
He pulled me down to the place where the silence grows

   Am                C
He looked at me with hollow eyes

       F
And he whispered my name as the flowers died

          Am                 C
I felt my heart go cold as I sank between

    F                                        Am C   F
The ocean I am and the river I'm meant to be

             Am C   F
I'm meant to be

Am              G      F
Give me back my oxygen mask ('Cause I don't want to)

Am                   Em    F
Feel the walls of my heart collapse (So put me under)

Am             G           F
I would sooner die on this table (Than face what)

Am           Em        F
Causes me to be so unstable

C                          Am
   Now I'm standing by the window on a Sunday

      Dm                          F           G
And I can't quite recall Why I cannot move at all

C                          Am
   And I feel so tired and wounded Like the stitches on my

Dm                           F           G
Soul came apart I'm standing here in the dark

      C                                      Am
Well, maybe it's from the drinks we had last night, but good god,

                        Dm                              F   G
I love those friends of mine, the best that alcohol can buy

   C                                                Am
Or maybe it's from the lack of sleep, but all those secrets I've kept

                         Dm
Trying to be so sweet to you, it's dark, my dear

              F                  G
But it got me through, it got me through

Am              G      F
Give me back my oxygen mask ('Cause I don't want to)

Am                   G     F
Feel the walls of my heart collapse (So put me under)

Am             G           F
I would sooner die on this table (Than face what)

Am           G     F
Causes me to be so unstable

Am           G     F
Causes me to be so unstable

Am           G     F
Causes me to be so unstable

Am                           C
  Sometimes I wonder if I'm only a ghost

        F
Wearing human skin I never chose

  Am                  C
I listen to the devil as he spoke

           F
Because he tempted me with a beautiful rose
