Here I lie in my hospital bed

Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?

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?

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.
