Am   Am/G   Bb   A7   Dm 

C#maj7/F 
Like some sepulchral tableaux, 
                          F 
I sit frozen holding your hand. 
           C#maj7/F 
Though I'm trying to think only, 
                         C 
Positive thoughts I understand. 

Bb 
That this tomorrow, 
       Fmaj7 
May not   be the tomorrow that, 
Bb                Fmaj7 
Your eviscerating suffering will end, oh. 
Bb                   C 
Will you ever be yourself again?

F 
Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune, 
    Gm          F 
She ain't doin' well. 
    A                       Dm           F        Gm 
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless. 
    G                   C 
Her psyche's cracked or, anyhow, 
    Am             Bb     A 
She ain't speakin' now. 

Dm  Dsus2  Dm 

Nightfall, like some leaden sea, 
Dilates as I hold vigil by your bed. 
Watching the pillowcase soaking with sweat around your head. 

I can't repel the snaking veil of morbidity, 
That's disfiguring the seraph of your face. 
Oh, the organism's been debased. 

Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune, 
She ain't doin' well, 
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless 
Her psyche's shattered or, anyhow, 
She ain't speakin' now. 

A 
You scream that the books, 
Are falling off the shelf onto you, 
    F                           G 
But   I can't see them. 
E 
Your hallucination ravings, 
I'm writing them all down so, 
Bb 
You can read them, 
          C 
When your mind no longer aches, 
And your febrility breaks. 

Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune, 
She ain't doin' well. 
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless, 
Her psyche's cracked or, anyhow, 
She ain't speakin' now. 

Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune, 
She ain't doin' well. 
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless, 
Her psyche's shattered or, anyhow, 
She ain't speakin' now. 

Dm
