I was gone for fourteen days, I could have been  gone for more; 
E                G              D                C 
Held up in intensive care ward, Lying on the     floor.

I think I lost some weight there, And I'm sure I need some rest; 
E              G              D                   C 
Sleeping don't come very easy  In a straight white vest.

E                     G               D                  C     C-riff 
I'd give her back all her play things even even the one I stole

I grabbed my hat I got my coat  I ran into the street  
E                   G               D                     C 
I saw a man that was chok-ing there   I guess he couldn't breathe 
E                         G              D                  C    
Said to my-self, this is ver-y strange,  I'm glad it wasn't me; 
E                   G               D                     C 
But now I hear those sirens call-ing  And so I am not     free  

(I didn't want to be)
