Intro:  D   D   D  D  
Verse:
DWe broke up about a Bmyear agoA  
We split amicably of coDurse
But I hBmeard about your aAccident
When you fell off a hEmorse
Mm-mm-EmmA  
I took Dflowers to the BmhospitalA  
When in turn the intern sDaid
That he'd hBmelp me find the rAoom which held
You and your broken lDeg
Hidden by your fBmriends and relatAives
Gathered round your beEmd
Ah-ah-aEhA  
Chorus:
You hGad a cast of tDhousands of signAatures

You hGanded me a pen and pointed jDust below the Aknee
I'm gGlad there's still a Dpart of you rBmeserved for mAe
Verse:
Do you rDemember how wBme met like laughing cAhildren
Or just how clean it eDnded?
In the dBmarkened ward at nAight
When blinds are all deDscended
Now I gBmet a pang of pleasure
Seeing your leg suDspended
Shame they can't cBmover us in plAaster
And in sEmix weeks all is mended
Ah-ah-aEhA  
But I loDve the smell of hosBmpitals more than Ajust a bit
When I was young I couldn'Dt keep my nose out of the Bmfirst-aid kit
But when the very thing that briDngs you here also Bmmakes you goA  
The tEmop floor elevator's just got oEne arroAw
(Slow tempo right down)
DWhy so many bloody looks?G  
I'm in the kDitchen wF#mith too Amany cooDks

D D D D

Intro:

Verse:

D Bm A

We broke up about a year ago

We split amicably of course

Bm A

But I heard about your accident

When you fell off a horse

E A

Mm-mm-mm

D Bm A

I took flowers to the hospital

When in turn the intern said

Bm A

That he'd help me find the room which held

You and your broken leg

Bm A

Hidden by your friends and relatives

Gathered round your bed

E A

Ah-ah-ah

Chorus:

G D A

You had a cast of thousands of signatures

G D A

And charts filled with your fluctuating temperatures

G D A

You handed me a pen and pointed just below the knee

G D Bm A

I'm glad there's still a part of you reserved for me

Verse:

D Bm A

Do you remember how we met like laughing children

Or just how clean it ended?

Bm A

In the darkened ward at night

When blinds are all descended

Now I get a pang of pleasure

Seeing your leg suspended

Bm A

Shame they can't cover us in plaster

And in six weeks all is mended

E A

Ah-ah-ah

D Bm A

But I love the smell of hospitals more than just a bit

D Bm

When I was young I couldn't keep my nose out of the first-aid kit

D Bm A

But when the very thing that brings you here also makes you go

Em E A

The top floor elevator's just got one arrow

(Slow tempo right down)

D G

Why so many bloody looks?

D F#m A D

I'm in the kitchen with too many cooks
