E9 
The coffee at the hospital
E9 
was a low-down nasty sludge
E9 
I got 19 compound fractures and
E9 
I'm talking to the judge
A 
And if that judge don't bust you,
A
I'll take you to the one above


[Chorus]
B               A                     D   Eb   E        
'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love


[Verse 2]
E9 
Call me a dumbell, call me a spoiled sport,
E9 
I tumbled down your staircase,
E9 
and I'm taking you to court.
A
If that court don't bust you, mama,
A
I'll take you to, I'll take you to,  the one above


[Chorus]
B               A                     D   Eb   E 
'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

E9  [2x]
D Eb E
Oh no!

[Solo] 


[Verse 3]
E9 
My arm and first 3 fingers
E9 
They are in a plaster glove
E9 
I would not be on Morphine
E9  
I swear by God above
E9  
I would not be in traction, if I did not fall in love
A
And if that court don't bust you
A 
I'll take you to, I'll take you to, I'll take you to the one above


B               A                     D   Eb   E 
I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love


D     Eb      E
If I did not fall in love [4x]
