[Intro]
Am Am(add9) C Em Em7 Am x2
Am Am(add9)
I wish that I had known in that first
C Em Em7
Minute we met the unpayable debt
Am
That I owed you
Am Am(add9)
'Cause you'd been abused by the
C Em Em7
Bone that refused you and you hired me
Am
To make up for that
Am Am(add9)
And walking in that room when you had
C Em Em7
Tubes in your arms those singing morphine alarms
Am
Out of tune
Am Am(add9)
They had you sleeping and eating and I
C Em Em7
Didn't believe them when they called you a hurricane
Am
Thunderclap
Am Am(add9)
When I was checking vitals I
C Em Em7
Suggested a smile you didn't talk for a while
Am
You were freezing
Am Am(add9)
You said you hated my tone it made you
C Em Em7
Feel so alone so you told me I had
Am
To be leaving
Am Am(add9)
But something kept me standing by that
C Em Em7
Hospital bed I should have quit but instead
Am
I took care of you
Am Am(add9)
You made me sleep and uneven and I
C Em Em7
Didn't believe them when they told me that there
Am
Was no saving you
