Here I lie in my hospital bed
Dsus2 Am Dsus2 Am
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
G F *[fill 1] Oh, and I don`t think I can wait that long
C G F Am
Oh you see I`m not that strong
Am7 Am Am7
Am Am7 Am
The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Dsus2 Am *[fill 2]Dsus2 Am
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
G F
What am I doing in this place?
E F
Why does the doctor have no face?
G F
Oh, I can crawl across the floor
Am F Am
Can`t you see, Sister Morphine, I`m trying to score.
Am7 Am Am7 Am
Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem-
Dsus2 Am Dsus2 Am
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams.
G F
Oh can`t you see I`m fading fast?
Am F Am
And the big shot will be my last.
Am7 Am Am7 Am
Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hands on my head
Dsus2 Am Dsus2 Am
Oh c`mon Sister Morphine, better make up my bed
G F
Cos you know and I know in the morning I`ll be dead
Am F E Am
You can sit around and watch all the clean white sheets stained red.
