Capo on 2 I saw it live




I don't want to die in the hospital 

I don't want to die in the hospital 

I don't want to die in the hospital 
                                    
You gotta take me back outside 



I don't want to hear all these factory sounds 

Looking like a girl in a sleeping gown 

I don't want to die in the hospital 
                                     
You gotta take me back outside 

Can you make a sound to distract the nurse 
Before I take a ride in the long black hearse 
I don't want to die in the hospital 
You gotta take me back outside 


        
Help me get my boots on 
              
Help me get my boots on 
                               
Help me get my boots back on	
        
Help me get my boots on 
        
Help me get my boots on 
                              
Help me get my boots back on	
         
I gotta go, go, go 
                              
Cause I don't have long 

  

I don't give a damn what the doctors say 
I ain't gonna spend another lonesome day 
I don't want to die in the hospital 
You gotta take me back outside 

And they don't let you smoke and you can't get drunk 
All there is to watch are these soap operas 
I don't want to die in the hospital 
You gotta take me back outside 

Can you get this tube out of my arm 
Morphine in my blood like a slow sad song 
I don't want to die in the hospital 
You gotta take me back outside 

Help me get my boots on 
Help me get my boots on 
Help me get my boots back on	
Help me get my boots on 
Help me get my boots on 
Help me get my boots back on	
I gotta go, go, go 
Cause I don't have long

Is there still a world out my windowsill 
All there ever was I remember still 
I don't want to die in this hospital 
You gotta take me back outside 

Don't know when it's day or when it's night 
All I ever see are fluorescent lights 
I don't want to die in this hospital 
You gotta take me back outside 

They give me all these flowers and these big balloons 
But I don't wanna stay in this little room 
I don't want to die in this hospital 
I don't want to die 

                                    
Are the stars still in the sky? 
                                    
Is that fat moon on the rise? 
                                    
Feel the earth against my feet 
                                    
as the cold wind calls for me 

I don't want to die in this hospital 
I don't want to die in this hospital 
No I ain't gonna die in this hospital 
You gonna take me back outside 

Yeah I ain't gonna die in this hospital 
No I ain't gonna die in this hospital 
No I ain't gonna die in this hospital 
You gonna take me back outside
