Intro:
   Em D Em
   D Em

Verse 1:
Em
Won't you lend your lungs to me?
     D          Em
Mine are collapsing

Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
           D       Em
Up the time that's passing
D                    Em
Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
D                  Em
Pray the day's not poison

Stand among the ones that live
          D     Em  D Em
In lonely indecision

Verse 2:
Em
Fingers walk the darkness down
        D         Em
Mind is on the midnight

Gather up the gold you've found
               D        Em
You fool, it's only moonlight
    D                   Em
And if you stop to take it home
     D                     Em
Your hands will turn to butter

Better leave this dream alone
           D   Em      Em
Try to find another Salvation sat and crossed herself

Verse 3:
           D     Em
Called the devil partner

Wisdom burned upon a shelf
                D         Em
Who'll kill the raging cancer
D              Em
Seal the river at its mouth
D                  Em
Take the water prisoner

Fill the sky with screams and cries
         D     Em     D Em
Bathe in fiery answers

Solo:
   Em D Em D Em D Em
   D Em D Em D Em

Verse 4:
Em
Jesus was an only son
             D    Em
And love his only concept

But strangers cry in foreign tongues
          D          Em
And dirty up the doorstep
    D              Em
And I for one, and you for two
      D                Em
Ain't got the time for outside

Keep your injured looks to you
                    D     Em      D Em
We'll tell the world that we tried

Outro: Em D Em D Em D Em
