Intro: D D D D
Verse:
[D]We broke up about a [Bm]year ago[A]
We split amicably of co[D]urse
But I h[Bm]eard about your a[A]ccident
When you fell off a h[Em]orse
[E] [A]
[Mm-mm-mm]
I took [D]flowers to the [Bm]hospital[A]
When in turn the intern s[D]aid
That he'd h[Bm]elp me find the r[A]oom which held
You and your broken l[D]eg
Hidden by your f[Bm]riends and relat[A]ives
Gathered round your be[Em]d
Ah-ah-a[E]h[A]
Chorus:
You h[G]ad a cast of t[D]housands of sign[A]atures
And c[G]harts filled with your f[D]luctuating temp[A]eratures
You h[G]anded me a pen and pointed j[D]ust below the [A]knee
I'm g[G]lad there's still a [D]part of you r[Bm]eserved for m[A]e
Verse:
Do you r[D]emember how w[Bm]e met like laughing c[A]hildren
Or just how clean it e[D]nded?
In the d[Bm]arkened ward at n[A]ight
When blinds are all de[D]scended
Now I g[Bm]et a pang of pleasure
Seeing your leg su[D]spended
Shame they can't c[Bm]over us in pl[A]aster
And in s[Em]ix weeks all is mended
Ah-ah-a[E]h[A]
But I lo[D]ve the smell of hos[Bm]pitals more than [A]just a bit
When I was young I couldn'[D]t keep my nose out of the[Bm] first-aid kit
But when the very thing that bri[D]ngs you here also[Bm] makes you go[A]
The t[Em]op floor elevator's just got o[E]ne arro[A]w
(Slow tempo right down)
[D]Why so many bloody looks?[G]
I'm in the k[D]itchen w[F#m]ith too [A]many coo[D]ks
