Intro: E C#m7 (x2)

E      C#m7
  I dare not cough
E      C#m7
  Nor breathe deep
A           F#m7
  There?s been a pain in my chest
A       F#m7
  for nearly a week
E       C#m7   E     C#m7
  I want to be famous for falling in love
A       F#m7   A     F#m7

B         G#7
   I went to the hospital
C#m         A
   They put me in a bed
B         G#7
   Because I always do
C#m       A
   what my mother says
B   Cm     C#m     A
   Why should I lie about results of a test?


E      C#m7
  I may soon be gone
E      C#m7
  To pluck on a harp
A         F#m7
  Like those colored pencil portraits of dogs
A      F#m7
  we saw on a blue tarp
E        C#m7      E    C#m7
  But I spotted a damsel ---- if memory serves
A       F#m7      A    F#m7
  I spotted a damsel ---- if memory serves


B        G#7

C#m         A
   They put me in a bed
B        G#7
   Because I always do
C#m       A
   what my mother says

   Why should I lie about results of a test?


E        C#m7
  So -- Who is your provider?
E        C#m7
  Where?d you get that bread?
A        F#m7
  Is it dying that terrified you?
A      F#m7
  Or just being dead?
E       C#m7    E    C#m7
  We are living in ---- an era of kings
A       F#m7    A    F#m7
  We are living in ---- an era of kings

   what my mother says
