Strum
D-DU-UDU
these  hospital walls are  the palest of white
 here in this desert they're  reciting my last rites
 the smell of these halls
 brings temporary comfort
 as the oxygen flows through my blood
 el corazon  was poisoned tonight...
 she's on her eight of  nine.
when  half of all your prayers are insincere,
 the other half are lies.
here  is this watermark under  this bridge.
 the point where it all crested,
 rolled back and drifted into  the sea.
 i climb from this wreckage
 as the smoke begins  to clear from my lungs.
 the closest of close calls has happened  tonight.
 it's time that i made things  right
 for the first time,
 since the last time
 let this moment of clarity
 lift this curse  that has been cast upon me.
appreciate  the good times,
but  don't take the worst for granted.
 'cause you only get so many  second chances
 End with E(strum)
 Note: play it with the song so that you can hear the exact timing of the strumming…thanks!
