Tom: A

intro   A E D A   x2
A                                 E
Doctors played your dosage like a card-trick
D                                    A
Scrabbled down the hallways yelling, "Yahtzee!"
A                                  E
I brought books on Hopper, and the Arctic
D                                 A
Something called "The Politics of Lonely"
A                                      E 
A toothbrush and a quick-pick with the plus
D                                 A
You tried not to roll your sunken eyes
Bm                                      E
You said, "Hey can you help me, I can't reach it" 
    A                            D
And pointed at the camera in the ceiling
  Bm                                      E
I climbed up, blocked it so they couldn't see
A                                 D
Turned to find you out of bed and kneeling
A                                E
Before the nurses came, took you away
  D                                      A
I stood there on a chair and watched you pray
