There were times when I could have murdered her

No, I don't want to see her

        Em            D     C           D
Do you really think she'll pull through?

Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know - it's serious
My, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye

There were times when I could
Have "strangled" her
(but you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her)
Would you please let me see her!

Chorus

Do...

Let me whisper my last goodbyes
I know - it's serious
