Institute – Ambulances (Live Acoustic)

I just heard this live acoustic version and I must say, sounds great! I did all this
by ear. I found 3 good ways to play the intro but I put the one that I feel works the
best with the acoustic. Please listen to the acoustic version before giving me a rating,
I think you might find it works well. I'm about 90% sure this is correct. Thanks!

This staying alive can kill you 
            
It's taking years off of my life 
                            
Build my world within you but loneliness comes 
         
You can cure you're iodine 
              
The world is better for your grace 
                        
If I plead insanity can I still crash at your place? 
                                                
   There are only so many ambulances          to go around 
                                                          ()
   There are only so many accidents  It's the universe   coming down 
              
               
Not trying to kill you 
     
It's just proof of life 
              
Not trying to kill you 

One day at a time 

(INTRO)

                          
She feeds off desire  She's in me 
   
To worlds I'd never guessed 
                           
I’m sure she'll be with me until the very end 

                       
  There are only so many ambulances 
                          
  Less you ask the more you see 
                       
  There are only so many accidents 
                               ()
  It's the universe and nothing's free 

                  
I'm not trying to kill you 
     
It's just moves of life 
              
Not trying to kill you 

One day at a time 
              
Not trying to kill you 

One day, one day Heeey…

(Note: Not too sure about the bridge but works for me.)
                               
  Oh, life can be so unwell 
                              
Oh, speeding between heaven and hell 
                                             
Oh, lately there's been so much to tell

(INTRO)

                        
   There are only so many ambulances 
                        
   There are only so many ambulances 
              
Not trying to kill you 
     
It's just proof of life 
              
Not trying to kill you 

One day at a time 
              
Not trying to kill you 

One day, one day, hey 

(INTRO)

                        
   There are only so many ambulances 
                        
   There are only so many ambulances 
                                                ()
to go around    to go around    to go around
