You came to me in the hospital ward when I blew out my knee
G C G Cm6 Cm
But I wasn't there to be cared for or carried
G C G C
'Cause I was asleep in my bed, in my house at the end of our street
G C G Cm6 Cm
While you drove across town at 3:00 in the morning
G Em6
It was fake for the sake
C B7 Em /D
Of making you take me for real
C Am G C G Cm6 Cm
But I guess you're even less impressed
