(Hospital Vespers) - The Weakerthans
Album: Reconstruction Site (2003)
Capo IV
intro    A   E   D     Ax2
ADoctors played your dosage like a Ecard-trick
DScrabbled down the hallways yelling, A"Yahtzee!"
AI brought books on Hopper, and the EArctic
DSomething called "The Politics of ALonely"
AA toothbrush and a quick-pick with the Eplus
DYou tried not to roll your sunken Aeyes
BmYou said, "Hey can you help me, I can't Ereach it" 
And Apointed at the camera in the Dceiling
I Bmclimbed up, blocked it so they couldn't Esee
ATurned to find you out of bed and Dkneeling
ABefore the nurses came, took you Eaway
I Dstood there on a chair and watched you Apray
outro    A   E   D     Ax2
