Seven to one
That’s what they say
It doesn’t seem fair
You were the one
Who rescued me
From the pit of despair
All of our time spent
Was not just for you
You were always helping me through
Seven to one
What are the odds
It doesn’t seem right
You were the one
Who comforted me
From that very first night
Taking the long way
Was not just for you
You were always helping me through
And now I sit in this hospital room
Falling apart at the seams
Are you out there chasing the stars
Or are you out chasing your dreams
I hope all your fun
Was seven to one
Seven to one
That’s what they say
I could not comprehend
You were the one
Who rescued me
My four legged friend
All of our time spent
Was not just for you
You were always helping me through
And now I sit in this empty room
Wondering where to turn
How can I get through the long winter nights
Without a fire to burn
Without a heart that beats as my own
Now that heart runs free
I hope I have something to give
The love that you gave me
I hope all your fun
Was seven to one

I DON’T KNOW HOW I GOT HERE
MY BODIES CAST IN STONE
I GOT MILES OF CABLES, HOSES AND SUCH
IN MY ARMS, DOWN MY THROAT, IN MY NOSE
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED,
DID I COME HERE ALONE
AM I LEAVING THIS PLACE SOMETIME SOON
HAVE THERE BEEN ANY VISITORS,
DO YOU EVEN KNOW MY NAME
PLEASE JUST TELL ME WILL I DIE HERE ALONE
WELL THESE 4 WALLS LOOK THE SAME
AS I’M COUNTING THE DAYS
IT’S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW I’M AWAKE
WHITE COATS COME AND THEY GO
THEY’VE READ BOOKS I DON’T KNOW
AND PUT THEIR MARK AT THE END OF MY PAGE
AND THEY FILL UP THESE HOSES WITH AID FOR MY PAIN
BUT THIS DEAFENING SILENCE JUST DRIVES ME INSANE
JUST OPEN A WINDOW SO I CAN ESCAPE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE…

Doctor doctor, can you help me
I've been feeling, so uneasy
My minds a fading, in the upsidedown
Watch the clock turn around turn around
Got me climbing up the walls
Got me living in a cage
Like an animal
I'm an animal
You feed me pills, you feed me dreams, you feed me sadness
You bring me up, you bring me down, you bring the madness
Time is prison in these halls got me spun and bound
Merry go round merry go round merry go round
Got me climbing up the walls
Got me living in a cage
Like an animal
I'm an animal
She's the one that makes my mind a coo coo
She's the one commanding n.o.w.
In my head she makes my brain a go pound pound
I hear the sound I hear the sound I hear the sound
Got me climbing up the walls
Got me living in a cage
Like an animal
Well I'm an animal
Got me climbing up the walls
Got me living in a cage
Like an animal
I'm an animal

The Hospital Room (Capo 3) Key of Bb
Emma Lee
Verse 1
It's where I drew my first breath of life
Held my momma and my daddy’s hand for for the very first time
God willing where I’ll go to meet the one’s who’ll take my place
And years down the road they’ll surround me with
Amazing grace
Chorus
Nobody wants to be left alone
Nobody wants to be the only one
When my days under this sun
Have numbered down to one
It’ll be too soon
But I’ll still have you
In the hospital room
In the hospital room
Verse 2
Everyone knows the kindest nurse in the east wing
She’s loved by all the kids and all the anxious families
Says she sees her grandpa in every old man's face
And when nobody’s watching she holds their hands and sings
Amazing grace
cause Nobody wants to be left alone
Nobody wants to be the only one
When my days under this sun
Have numbered down to one
It’ll be too soon
But I’ll still have you
In the hospital room
In the hospital room
Nobody wants to be left alone
Nobody wants to be the only one
When my days under this sun
Have numbered down to one
It’ll be too soon
But I’ll still have you
In the hospital room
Ooooooo

I can hear you talking but
you can’t seem to say it
the only words I need you to say
Once, I thought I knew you
I knew the secrets you knew
The secrets kept the monsters at bay
Those dreams of the day
you’d decide
You could stay
By my side
But now you hear a calling
A star that keeps on falling
I wonder where you’ve gone tonight
and though you’re right beside me
your distant eyes divide me
I wanna make you want to fight
But you’re all alone
In your thoughts
All of my hopes
Tied in knots
Oh, once, long ago, you could turn the
bitter so sweet
Oh, now the ground disappears
Underneath my very own feet
Stay by me

you dropped your young wife off
in the parking lot
at the hospital
that was the day i was born
i guess you went home
to work on the tractor
i guess you were trying
to get out of the storm
you were trying to get out of the storm
in a tiny room
in an old building
in the middle of nowhere
a small miracle took place
amid the chaos of blood
and sweat and tears
the divine one showed
his tender face
yeah he showed his tender face
in the calm after the storm
that scared young woman felt a love so true
as she lay holding her small miracle
and wondering where were you
wondering where were you
since that November day
fall has turned to winter
so many times
sometimes i lose count
you’ve remained a prisoner
of your misery and fear
and to this day i pray someday
you’ll get out
i pray someday you’ll get out
(instrumental)
love and sorrow like two rivers flow
through my days and through my veins
pain is the only thing you ever had to give me
after you gave me your name
yeah you gave me your name

V1
Love isn’t easy, why should it be?
Hearts made to be broken, chemically
She said I’m not a doctor, but I can see that it hurts
No need to feel your heartbeat, it only gets worse
Pre
If you wanna be healed I can help you
If you wanna take a little more time
If you need a hand you can hold on tight
Let me be your guide
Don’t wind up in the hospital, it’s a lonely place to be
Don’t give up on living, take it from me
Don’t wind up in the hospital, you’re not better off dead
I will help with your emergency code red
V2
You can visit the clinic, she said it’s plain to be seen
Suffering from a torn up heart and kicked in dreams
V3
Love isn’t easy, why should it be?
Hearts made to be rescued, eventually

If you could would you live forever
At first the idea sounds like a gift
Spend the time in carefree indifference
Without a sorrow and upon the winds we’d drift
You’d pass the days without caring
What may be around the bend
And wouldn’t think about a day when the road had reached its end
And time would go on forever
Oooo but where’s the light
There’s no color and I don’t see right with out the wrong
I don’t feel a need to sing
There’s no point in a song
You can’t love unless you know someday it’s gone
May the wind be always at your back
And if not still use the sail
But what’s the point if there was never
Going to be an end?
We’ll see it all and there never was a veil
I’d never feel a need, to tell you that I love you
Never think to take your hand in mine
Maybe that’s the reason why we find out it will end
So we can make the most of our time
Ooooo I felt a flash
Of darkness and I was afraid
And I felt a need to sing
Color into the winds I’d sailed upon
Love is unknown without knowing it will be gone

Baby don’t leave me
It’s selfish to say
But I know without you
I can’t do another day
I feel your heartache
I know you’re in pain
But if you should sleep
I don’t want to wake up again
cuz we’ve traveled so long now side by side
The wonder of this world reflecting in both our eyes
All the animals journey together and it’s much better two by two
So wherever you go, my love, take me with you
I should be grateful
Cuz life’s been so kind
For giving us these years,
The best in my life
The cruel twist of fate now
Has taken your fight
So I’m holding your hand and I’m praying under these hostpital lights
Take my heart
Take our dreams
May they sing to you for me
Im so scared
And you’re so strong
It’s been like that all along
So baby, I’ll whisper
these words by your bed
I’l never let go
and I’ll never forget
but if your adventure
is starting anew
I’ll treasure this one
Til I get to join you
CHORUS

Take me from my home now
Put me in the chair
Pour your fluids into me
Make me unaware
now my eyes are closing
I can’t understand
The balance of what’s real to me
With these needles in my hand
Now I am surrounded
By the ones I know and love
They touch me and they pray for me
To their Gods above
I’m not quite awake though
But I am not to blame
It’s the love I found in medicine
That takes away the pain
Oh My God what have I become
And it’s all beginning
And so it will end
I can feel my body change
And the color of my skin
has turned a little pale now
as my life unfurls
and my Blood is thinning
Thanks to my Hospital Girl
…..
I will try to fight it
But will soon give in
I know they have to cut me up
To find out whats within
And my mind is racing
But I stay calm and say
“I hope this ain’t the final thing
That puts my life away”
Oh My God what have I become
With all eyes upon me
I go under again
And I don’t’ remember much
When I wake up in my bed
I see where you cut me
And took me for a whirl
You took away a part of me
my Hospital Girl
I can’t stay forever
This I know quite well
Tell me is this heaven
Or just a little less of hell
My mouth the taste of mercury
And the pills they make me slow
If I die before I wake
Tell everyone I loved them so
Oh My God what have I become
And it’s all beginning
And so it will end
I can feel my body change
And the color of my skin
has turned a little pale now
as my life unfurls
and my Blood is thinning
Thanks to my Hospital Girl
Thanks to my Hospital Girl

If that boys got a fever
It's cause he's burnin' with the truth
Even though they tried to slip a couple lies
Into his chicken soup
They try to tell him 'bout the world
And about his place in it
That boys got a couple issues with the bullshit story that they're spinning
You can tell me who's well and who's not
Yeah but I know what the boy got
They call it the blues
But he was fine before he met you
Yeah they call it the blues
They call it the blues
And I know temperatures are running hot
But there ain't no cure for what he got
They call it the blues
But he was fine before he met you
If that girls got a sickness
It's cause she's sick of being used
Oh yeah she's got a couple extra friends that she could afford to lose
You know they're giving so little
And they're taking so much
And now it's like we got a couple dozen arms leaning on a single crutch
You can tell who's well and who's not
But I know what the girl got
They call it the blues
But she was fine before she met you
They call it the blues
They call it the blues
And I know temperatures are running hot
But there ain't no cure for what she got
They call it the blues
But she was fine before she met you
She's starting to regret you
She's trying to forget you
She was fine before she met you
She got the blues
She got the blues
And I know temperatures are running hot
But there ain't no cure for what they got
They got the blues
But we were fine before we met you

A Thousand Little Dreams
IV drips tourniquets give me something for the pain
demerol i can’t recall what was the doctor’s name
a thousand little dreams running through my head
drifting through the clouds voices in my head
lying in my bed
i hear the moans from afar
someones calling for the nurse
shadows dancing on the walls
it couldn’t get much worse
a thousand little dreams running through my head
drifting through the clouds voices in my head
lying in my bed
another way another x-ray
another x-ray another day

Never should have started
Never should have rolled up my sleeves
Now I’m on the floor, I don’t know what to believe
It took me 4 long hours ‘til I was back on my feet
Never thought I’d fall to pieces
Never thought that I would fall at all
Now I’m staring face to face with my demons
They said, “you’ve screwed up good this time
Now your back’s up against, your back’s up against the wall”
Livin’ should be easy, you only gotta stay alive
We do our best to end it, it happens all the time
I’m going to finish this verse, it doesn’t even have to rhyme
Never thought I’d fall to pieces
Never thought that I would fall at all
Now I’m staring face to face with my demons
They said, “you’ve screwed up good this time
Now your back’s up against, your back’s up against the wall”
- harmonica -
Never thought I’d fall to pieces
Never thought that I would fall at all
Now I’m staring face to face with my demons
They said, “you’ve screwed up good this time
Now your back’s up against, your back’s up against the wall”
