  			Cm  
Lying on the table  
        F  
In this unfamiliar place,  
      Cm  
I'm greeted by a stranger,  
   F  
A man without a face.  
           Cm  
He said: "Son, do you remember?  
       F  
Do you even know your name?"  
          Cm  
Then he shined a light into my eye  
            F  
And said: "Take this for the pain".

 D#  
Hopelessly drifting,  
 Bb                  Cm  
Bathing in beautiful agony...  
     D#  
I am endlessly falling,  
 Bb                     Cm  
Lost in this wonderful misery.  
    D#                  Bb  
In peaceful sedation I lay half awake,  
    Em                  D#  
And all of the panic inside starts to fade.  
D# 
Hopelessly drifting,  
 Bb                  Cm   F  
Bathing in beautiful a-gony...

"Tell me, does this hurt you?"  
 F  
Said the faceless man.  
          Cm  
"Can you move all of your fingers?  
           F  
Then you try your best to stand".  
  Cm  
I asked about the others:  
    F  
"Is everyone okay?"  
    Cm  
He told me not to worry  
       F  
As he turned and looked away.  

 D#  
Hopelessly drifting,  
 Bb                  Cm   F 
Bathing in beautiful a-gony...  
     D#  
I am endlessly falling,  
 Bb                     C  
Lost in this wonderful misery.  
    D#                  Bb  
In peaceful sedation I lay half awake,  
    Em                  D#  
And all of the panic inside starts to fade.  
Hopelessly drifting,  
 Bb                  Cm   F 
Bathing in beautiful a-gony...
