3 Months And A Week

F    G  Em  C    Am

[Verse 1]
         F
I was sitting alone again in the 
wheelchair
G                           Em
Stomach in reverse, blood pouring 
from my lips
         C
To an audience of 30 in the waiting 
room
   Am
In all the world, I was thinking of 
you

[Verse 2]
      F
The nurse, the priest, and the looks
 on their faces
            G             Em
When they came to me, I couldn't 
shake the feeling
           C
That they knew something, something 
I didn't
         Am
I was trembling, and clinging to 
nothing

[Pre-chorus]
        F
Only breaking my neck trying to keep
 my head up
       G                        Em
I'm breaking my neck trying to keep 
my head up
       C
I'm breaking my neck trying to keep 
my head up
       Am
I'm breaking my neck trying to keep 
my head up

[Chorus]
      F
It's been 3 months and a week, I 
should be better
Continues after the ad
         G                    
But you visit each night in my 
        Em
sleep, and when I wake
               C
It's just the dirt cold feel of my 
sheets
              Em            Am
I've been a toddler looking for some
 hands to reach
     F
The birds don't sigh when they sing,
 and that's all right
                 G               
It's just your voice on the phone 
      Em
has been the only light
        C                       
At the top of the world, where I 
                     Em
have been drowning under
          Am
Careful blowing from your voice 
every night

[Instrumental]
F    G  Em  C    Am

[Verse 3]
      F
Some days I laid in the hospital bed
        G            Em
Just waiting for my body to stomach
         C
Only sustenance from the words you 
said
              Am
But dying, wondering how it all fell
 apart

[Verse 4]
         F
And of course it did, I was trying 
to fix something
         G                    Em
That I could not fix, I was blind 
from the beginning
         C
I was fumbling 'round on the earth 
so thin
       Am
But wondering how I kept falling in

[Pre-chorus]
        F
Only breaking my neck trying to keep
 my head up
       G                        Em
I'm breaking my neck trying to keep 
my head up
       C
I'm breaking my neck trying to keep 
my head up
       Am
I'm breaking my neck trying to keep 
my head up

[Chorus]
      F
It's been 3 months and a week, I 
should be better
         G                    
But you visit each night in my 
        Em
sleep, and when I wake
               C
It's just the dirt cold feel of my 
sheets
              Em            Am
I've been a toddler looking for some
 hands to reach
     F
The birds don't sigh when they sing,
 and that's all right
                 G               
It's just your voice on the phone 
      Em
has been the only light
        C                       
At the top of the world, where I 
                     Em
have been drowning under
          Am
Careful blowing from your voice 
every night
