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 This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
