A beautiful song evoking the horror of someone you love lying injured on a hospital bed
This song is strummed very lightly on the highest four strings, with on/off muting with
the barr� finger. If you don't like barr� chords ignore the sharps and play it Dm, C and
Gm with an F in the bridge.

D#m
You got wires going in 
        C#
You got wires coming out of your skin 
        D#m
You got tears making tracks 
      C#
I got tears that are scared of the facts 
        G#m
Running down corridors through automatic doors 
D#m                C#
Got to get to you, got to see this through 
G#m
I seen hope is here in a plastic box
D#m                     C#
I seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes 

        D#m
You got wires going in
        C#
You got wires coming out of your skin 
            D#m
There's dry blood on your wrist 
         C#
Your dry blood on my fingertip 
        G#m
Running down corridors through automatic doors 
D#m                C#
Got to get to you, got see this through 
G#m
First night of your life curled up on your own 
D#m                        C#
Looking at me now you will never know 

                 G#m                   D#m
I see it in your eyes I see it in your eyes
          F# C#
You'll be alright 

                 G#m                   D#m
I see it in your eyes I see it in your eyes
          F# C#
You'll be alright
G#m C#
Alright. 

        G#m
Running down corridors through automatic doors

Got to get to you, got to see this through 
G#m
I see hope is here in a plastic box 
D#m                     C#
I seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes
                    D#m
With a tear in your eyes 


        G#m
