Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
And I rationed my breathes as I said to myself that I'd already taken too
much today
As each descending peak of the LCD took you a little farther away from me
Away from me
Repeat intro twice
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only
say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in
our minds
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain
beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained
itself
'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 someone die"
So who's going to watch you die?.. Repeat
