{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[Bm]Suddenly, [A]every ma[G]chine stopped at [D]once,
And the [F#m]monitors beeped the last [Em]time.
[Bm]Hundreds of [A]thousands of [G]hospital [D]beds,
And [F#m]all of them empty but [Em]mine. [A]
Well, [Bm]I was lying [A]down with my [G]feet in the [D]air,
Com[F#m]pletely unable to [Em]move.
The [Bm]bed was mis[A]shapen and [G]awkward and [D]tall,
And [F#m]clearly intended for [Em]you. [A]

{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
You [Bm]checked yourself [A]out when you [G]put me to [D]bed,
And [F#m]tore that old band off your [Em]wrist.
But you [Bm]came back to [A]see me for a [G]minute or [D]less,
And [F#m]left me your ring in my [Em]fist. [A]
My [Bm]hair started [A]growing, my [G]face became [D]yours,
My [F#m]femur was breaking in [Em]half.
The sen[Bm]sation was [A]scissors and [G]too much to [D]scream,
So in[F#m]stead, I just started to [Em]laugh. [A]
