STANDARD TUNING: G C E A
3/4 Time Signature
Am F C G x2 [Chorus]
Am             F
Suddenly every machine stopped at once

        C                        G
And the monitors beeped the last time

Am                       F
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds

    C                     G
And all of them empty but mine
[Verse 1]
      Am                       F
Well, I was lying down with my feet in the air

   C                 G
Completely unable to move

    Am                    F
The bed was misshapen and awkward and tall

    C                    G
And clearly intended for you
[Verse 2]
    Am                            F
You checked yourself out when you put me to bed

    C                           G
And tore that old band off your wrist

        Am                        F
But you came back to see me for a minute or less

    C                       G
And left me your ring in my fist
[Verse 3]
        Am                        F
My hair started growing, my face became yours

   C                     G
My femur was breaking in half

        Am                     F
The sensation was scissors and too much to scream

     C                        G
So instead, I just started to laugh
[Chorus]
Am             F
Suddenly every machine stopped at once

        C                        G
And the monitors beeped the last time

Am                       F
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds

    C                     G
And all of them empty but mine
