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



Outro

E-G#m(4x)
