"Blood Glucose Meter" to the tune of "Angels" by Robbie Willams and Guy Chambers

Blood Meter (to the tune of "Angels" by Guy Chambers and Robbie Williams)
Words by the Seahorses @ Calshot's DUK Holiday

VERSE 1
E                                                                              Asus2     A    C#m/A    B
I sit and wait....  while my meter contemplates my fate...
                                  E                                                               Asus2     A    C#m/A    B
Does anybody really know..  The anger that you feel... When you go high then low...
                                    F#m7              A                                     C#m                               A
'Cause I've been told...   That salvation... Comes from good control...
                       D                                        A
So when I'm lying in my bed... And a Shaky feeling starts to spread...
      E                                       D                                   A           E
I should've had more bread...    I'll do a blood test instead...

CHORUS
                                B                                             C#m
And through it all... My meter offers me protection
                                A                                                             E
Low blood glucose detection... whether I'm high or low?
                                    B                                                                       C#m            
Else I'd be lying on the floor...  The low sugars they would take me...
                                     A                                                   E/G#                 
A hypo it would break me... Paramedics would come to call...  
                F#m                                       Dadd2         A/C#                E
And Glucagon would wake me...   I'll test my blood sugars instead

VERSE 2
E                                                                                           Asus2     A    C#m/A    B
When I'm feeling weak....  But I've stuffed my face with lots to eat
           E                                                            Asus2     A    C#m/A    B
I look above...   And I know I'll always be blessed with love
         D                                             A
And as my sugars grow... Through my veins and to my toes...
                    E
I know returning from those lows   
                D             A           E
... I'll have a high blood sugar instead.

CHORUS

Sea horses chant (to end)
