Verse:

D (xx0232@1)                 Bm (x24432@1)     AWe (x02220@1)broke up about a year ago
                       DWe (xx0232@1)split amicably of course
       Bm (x24432@1)             ABut (x02220@1)I heard about your accident
                     EmWhen (022000@1)you fell off a horse
      E (022100@1) AMm-mm-mm (x02220@1)
       D (xx0232@1)            Bm (x24432@1)     AI (x02220@1)took flowers to the hospital
                         DWhen (xx0232@1)in turn the intern said
           Bm (x24432@1)             AThat (x02220@1)he'd help me find the room which held
                     DYou (xx0232@1)and your broken leg
                Bm (x24432@1)            AHidden (x02220@1)by your friends and relatives
                      EmGathered (022000@1)round your bed
       E (022100@1) AAh-ah-ah (x02220@1)
Chorus:

     G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)             AYou (x02220@1)had a cast of thousands of signatures
     G (320003@1)                     D (xx0232@1)            AAnd (x02220@1)charts filled with your fluctuating temperatures
     G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1)           AYou (x02220@1)handed me a pen and pointed just below the knee
     G (320003@1)                 D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1)         AI'm (x02220@1)glad there's still a part of you reserved for me

Verse:

        D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1)                 ADo (x02220@1)you remember how we met like laughing children
                      DOr (xx0232@1)just how clean it ended?
        Bm (x24432@1)             AIn (x02220@1)the darkened ward at night
                      DWhen (xx0232@1)blinds are all descended
       BmNow (x24432@1)I get a pang of pleasure
                  DSeeing (xx0232@1)your leg suspended
                  Bm (x24432@1)         AShame (x02220@1)they can't cover us in plaster
        EmAnd (022000@1)in six weeks all is mended
       E (022100@1) AAh-ah-ah (x02220@1)        D (xx0232@1)                Bm (x24432@1)             ABut (x02220@1)I love the smell of hospitals more than just a bit
                          D (xx0232@1)                      BmWhen (x24432@1)I was young I couldn't keep my nose out of the first-aid kit
                                D (xx0232@1)              Bm (x24432@1)         ABut (x02220@1)when the very thing that brings you here also makes you go
     Em (022000@1)                          E (022100@1)    AThe (x02220@1)top floor elevator's just got one arrow

(Slow tempo right down)

D (xx0232@1)                      GWhy (320003@1)so many bloody looks?
            D (xx0232@1)     F#m (244222@1)   A (x02220@1)     DI'm (xx0232@1)in the kitchen with too many cooks
