Held up in intensive care ward, Lying on the floor.

E G D C C-riff
I made friends with a lot of peo-ple in the danger zone
[Chorus]

See my lone-ly life un-fold I see it ev-ry day

See my only mind ex-plode, since I've gone a-way

Sleeping don't come very easy In a straight white vest.

I'd give her back all her play things even even the one I stole
