Hospital bound, so you know there will be treatment
F   C                  F         G            C
Hey alright, it's too late to put up a fight.
C                                          Am
Hospital gowns, so you know you should be sleepin'
F       C                   F               G                 C
Wide awake, there's some pills that you shouldn't take
C/G
Honest to God, X is always an unknown
I said alright, Y gets buried in the bones
I said honest to God, if you don't get it off your chest
you don't have to stay around, you don't have to solve for X

On the way back down, finally a sequel
F         C       F          G       C
Hey alright, in a hospital room tonight
C/G
Is it alright, and your exit's always an unknown
It's hard to hold on too tight, cuz I got buried with your bones
And I said honest to God, if you don't get it off your chest
all your reason gone tonight, you don't have to solve for X

Hey alright, in a hospital room tonight

And I said alright, X is always an unknown
I tried to hold on too tight but I got buried with the bone.
And I said honest to God, I got to get it off my chest
I don't want to stick around, cuz I don't need this sufferin'.
