IntroA capella singing.
There's nothing to do here,
all just lie and complain.
In bed at the hospital.
Coming and going,
asleep and awake.
In bed at the hospital.
G** Dm*
I've got one friend,
A#** F*
laying across from me.
G** Dm*
I did not choose him,
A#** F*
he did not choose me.
G** Dm*
We have no chance,
A#** F*
of recovering.
G** Dm*
Laying in bed at hospitals,
A#** F*
joy and misery,
A#** F*
joy and misery,
A#** F (HOLD, let ring)
joy and misery.
Dm (continually strumming very softly)
Put out the fire boy's,
G
don't stop,don't stop,
Dm (Now very loudly, heavily)
put out the fire on us.
Dm
Put out the fire boy's,
G
don't stop,don't stop,
Dm (strum C#m on every syllable of u-u-us)
put out the fire on u-u-us.
Dm** Dm**
Bring your buckets by the dozens,
A#** A#**
bring your nieces and your cousins.
G** G** (fast C#m down + up strums for each syllable of us.)
Oh, put out the fire on u-u-us.
Dm** Dm**
Bring your buckets by the dozens,
A#** A#**
bring your nieces and your cousins.
G** G** Dm* Dm*
Oh, put out the fire on us.
G** Dm*
I've got one friend,
A#** F*
laying across from me.
G** Dm*
I did not choose him,
A#** F*
he did not choose me.
G** Dm*
We have no chance,
A#** F*
of recovering.
G** Dm*
Laying in hospitals,
A#** F*
joy and misery,
A#** F*
joy and misery, (let E ring)
Dm** A#* F** G* A#** F G** G*
and joy and joy and joy and joy and joy and joy... and misery.
Dm** Dm*
And misery.
A#** A#*
And misery.
F (strum once and let ring to finish)
And misery(yhey.)
