The Art Of Anesthesia

Watched a number of live performances of this song as well as listened to the record several times... I don’t believe this to be 999% accurate but it’s close Standard Tuning Capo 2 to match the record Chords Used: E7sus4*: x20230                *For simplicity’s sake I shall refer to this as an "E4" in the tab Asus4/Db**: x40230            **Likewise I will denote this as an "A4" Dsus2/G***: 3x0230           ***And this will be labeled as "D2" Dsus4: xx0233 Dsus4/F#: 2x0233 Gsus2: 300233 Em7: 022033 A7: x02020 Intro tab: ((it’s not 100% accurate but it’s close feel free to make a suggestion/ correction)) e|----0000-----0000-----0000--0-3-0-| B|----3333-----3333-----3333--3-3-3-| D|----0000-----0000-----0000--------| Repeat as necessary A|--2-2222---4-4444-----xxxx--------| E|----xxxx-----xxxx---3-3333--------| |Verse I|: Sometimes I think about who I should believe The people who are dead or the people who are free Sometimes I hear them as they whisper to me I try to stay awake so I won’t die in my sleep And I was quick to take a second look through The window on the door of the operating room And the adrenaline it threw my eyes To the table on the floor where the patients lie I saw his face and I could not speak As the anesthetic kissed his cheek I felt my lips go cold and my limbs go weak Because the body on the table where the patients die was me (repeat intro tab here if you wish) It was me         |Chorus|: Give me back my oxygen mask Cause I don’t want to feel the walls of my heart collapse So put me under I would sooner die on this table Than face what causes me to be so unstable |Verse II|: There was a lie between my demons and me And a body made of paper in the passenger seat As I open my eyes I could not see I felt the stitches come loose and the blood run free And as my thoughts began to shake I felt the hand of the darkness kiss my face And then the devil woke up and he grabbed my throat He pulled me down to the place where the silence grows He looks at me with hollow eyes And he whispered my name as the flowers died I felt my heart go cold as I sank between The ocean I am and the river I’m meant to be      I’m meant to be    |Repeat Chorus|           Dsus4                  Dsus4/F# |Bridge|: Now I’m standing by the window on a Sunday       Em7                     Gsus2           A7 And I can’t quite recall why I cannot move at all              Dsus4/F# And I feel so tired and wounded Like the stitches on my soul came apart              Gsus2            A7 I’m standing here in the dark Dsus4 Well maybe it’s from the drinks we had last night     Dsus4/F#                          Em7 But good god I love those friends of mine The best that alcohol can buy Dsus4 Or maybe it’s from the lack of sleep               Dsus4/F#                                    Em7 But all those secrets I’ve kept trying to be so sweet to you It’s dark my dear               Gsus2              A7 But it got me through it got me through |Repeat Chorus| |Refrain|:Causes me to be so unstable causes me to be so unstable |Outro|: Sometimes I wonder if I’m only a ghost Wearing human skin I never chose I listen to the devil as he spoke Because he tempted me with a beautiful rose END; thank you for viewing please feel free to make suggestions on any mistakes you think there are
