[Intro]
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
[Verse 1]
B7 E7
Well, you'll never see me dying
B7 E7
On screen or microscope
B7 E7
I'll be the first to laugh it off
C#m A E
To not be the brunt of your joke
[Verse 2]
B7 E7
Let me make a mistake
B7 E7
It'll pay for its own cost
B7 E7
'Cause regret is like an infant
C#m A E
That won't let you sleep it off
[Chorus]
C#m7 F#7
Checking in to a hospital
B7 E7 B7
Where the nurse is earth and sky
C#m7 F#7
Fighting against my flesh and blood
B7 E7 B7
There's nothing I won't try
C#m7 F#7
Even heartache looks so easy
G#m6 Emaj7/G#
To a pair of grieving eyes
B (riff) E
I am always one man down
B (riff) E
I am always one man down
B7 E7 B7 E7
And dressed up
[Verse 3]
B7 E7
I am an antenna
B7 E7
A feeding tube and a hard drive
B7 E7
Entertaining myself to death
C#m A E
To maintain some sort of life
[Verse 4]
B7 E7
Staring up at a concrete roof thinking
B7 E7
It could fall any minute
B7 E7
The fault line can't be reasoned with
C#m A E
No matter what the house has in it
[Chorus]
C#m7 F#7
Checking in to a hospital
B7 E7 B7
Where the nurse is church and state
C#m7 F#7
The cure has got that oxygen
B7 E7 B7
We're all looking to taste
C#m7 F#7
With the face lines of a moth's wings
G#m6 Emaj7/G#
I want more time to waste
B (riff) E
I am always one man down
B (riff) E
I am always one man down
G#m6
And dressed up
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
B7 E7
If my mind's an orphanage
B7 E7
You're not in the market to mind
B7 E7
Living like this is
C#m A E
Just no way to die
[Outro]
C#m7 F#7
Put it in terms I can understand
B7 E7 B7
This wound is all I've got
C#m7 F#7
But I can't disconnect my hand
C#m7 A E
From the damage that it's brought
C#m7 F#7
Well, the straight face on this cruel place
G#m6 Emaj7/G#
It just won't crack or break
B (riff) E
And I am always one man down
B (riff) E
I am always one man down
B
And fed up
