Intro: D D D D
Verse:
DBmA
We broke up about a year ago
D
We split amicably of course
BmA
But I heard about your accident
Em
When you fell off a horse
EA
Mm-mm-mm
DBmA
I took flowers to the hospital
D
When in turn the intern said
BmA
That he'd help me find the room which held
D
You and your broken leg
BmA
Hidden by your friends and relatives
Em
Gathered round your bed
EA
Ah-ah-ah
Chorus:
GDA
You had a cast of thousands of signatures
GDA
And charts filled with your fluctuating temperatures
GDA
You handed me a pen and pointed just below the knee
GDBmA
I'm glad there's still a part of you reserved for me
Verse:
DBmA
Do you remember how we met like laughing children
D
Or just how clean it ended?
BmA
In the darkened ward at night
D
When blinds are all descended
Bm
Now I get a pang of pleasure
D
Seeing your leg suspended
BmA
Shame they can't cover us in plaster
Em
And in six weeks all is mended
EA
Ah-ah-ah
DBmA
But I love the smell of hospitals more than just a bit
DBm
When I was young I couldn't keep my nose out of the first-aid kit
DBmA
But when the very thing that brings you here also makes you go
EmEA
The top floor elevator's just got one arrow
(Slow tempo right down)
DG
Why so many bloody looks?
DF#mAD
I'm in the kitchen with too many cooks
