[B] What are you staring at in that hospital bed?
Let [E] me [F#] explain.
[B] I wasn't thinking [E] about [F#] anything.
[B] Then it hit me [C#m] that Montana [E] was really [F#] just a leg
[G#m] with a round [E] heart just [C#m] the way you [F#] would expect.
[B] And it started [C#m] with a feeling [E] that ended [F#] in a leg
[G#m] and it seemed to me [F#] Montana [B] was a leg.
[E] [B]
[C#m] [E] [F#]
[B] [C#m] Now [E] I [F#] get [B] it.
[C#m] I'll found [E] a person [F#] next to [B] me
[C#m] and then hold off [F#] and [B] die.
I won't need this
electric folding bed.
I [C#m] can't [F#] lose [E] these
[B] [E] tiny pill cups.
[F#] Now [B] trust it hit me [C#m] that Montana [E] was really [F#] just a leg
[G#m] and then just [E] like that [C#m] it all fell [F#] into place.
[B] And I don't think [C#m] I can stand any [E] longer [F#] in this bed
[G#m] since I figured [E] out [B] Montana was a [E] leg.
[B]
[C#m] [E] [F#]
[B] [C#m] Now [E] I [F#] get [B] it.
[C#m] I wasn't [E] sure [F#] but now I [B] know
[C#m] and I can [E] finally [F#] go [B] give out my lungs.
Give up and tell the [Bm] information [B] to the man in the next bed down.
[D#] In the morning he'll tell [E] someone the last thing [D#m] that I said
[G#m] when I told him that [D#m] Montana was a [B] leg.
[E] [F#] From [B] the beginning [C#m] there was something [E] about it [F#] staring me
[G#m] in the face [E] I should [C#m] have guessed it [F#] right away.
[B] When it started [C#m] with a feeling [E] that ended [F#] in a leg
[G#m] and it seemed to me [F#] Montana [B] was a [E] leg.
[F#]
[B] [C#m] [F#]
[B] [C#m] [E] [F#] Now I get [B] it.
[C#m] I'll tell [E] the person [F#] next [B] to me
[C#m] I'll say [E] Montana [F#] was [C#m] a [B] [E] [F#]
[B] leg.
[C#m] Now [E] I [F#] get [B] it.
[C#m] I wasn't [E] sure [F#] but now [B] I know
[C#m] and I can [E] [F#] finally go.
