Eight of Nine

E                      G#m                        A C#m
these hospital walls are the palest of white
                      B                                  A2
here in this desert they're reciting my last rites
                             B
the smell of these halls
                             E
brings temporary comfort
                                 G#m                   A
as the oxygen flows through my blood
        B*                                      E G#m
el corazon was poisoned tonight...
                     A               B*
she's on her eight of nine.

E                                                   G#m
when half of all your prayers are insincere,
                            A   B* A
the other half are lies.
E                      G#m                     A C#m
here is this watermark under this bridge.
                                   B
the point where it all crested,
                            A2
rolled back and drifted into the sea.
                               B
i climb from this wreckage
              E                            G#m             A
as the smoke begins to clear from my lungs.
                                B*                          C#m
the closest of close calls has happened tonight.


                        B    
it's time that I made things right
                   A2
for the first time,
                             B C#m
since the last time…
                               B
let this moment of clarity
              A2
lift this curse that has been cast upon me.


A2                   B
appreciate the good times,
E                                             G#m A
but don't take the worst for granted.
                       G#m
'cause you only get so many second chances
