Intro: D  Gb  Bm  G

         D   Gb          Bm  G
I'm the blade, you're a knife
         D    Gb           Bm   G
I'm the weight, you're the kite
           D               Gb
They were right when they said
          Bm           G
We were breathing underwater
         D            Gb
Out of place all the time
      Bm                G           D  Gb  Bm  G
In a world that wasn't mine to take; 
     D    Gb  Bm  G
I'll wait


            G
Is this my life?
 Bm 
Ahhh
D     A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?
            G
Is this my life?
 Bm
Ahhh
D     A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?

Interlude: G  Bm  G  Bm

I'm the blade, you're a knife
         D    Gb           Bm   G
I'm the weight, you're the kite
           D               Gb
They were right when they said
           Bm             G
We should never meet our heroes
           D              Gb
When they bowed at their feet
       Bm            G
In the end it wasn't me


            G
Is this my life?
 Bm 
Ahhh
D     A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?
            G
Is this my life?
 Bm
Ahhh
D     A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?

Interlude: G  Bm  G  Bm

 D         Gb
Nights are days
           Bm                        G
We beat a path through the mirrored maze
               D
I can see the end
   Gb
Ahhh
        Bm              G
But it hasn't happened yet
               D
I can see the end
   Gb
Ahhh
        Bm              G
But it hasn't happened yet


            G
Is this my life?
 Bm 
Ahhh
D     A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?
            G
Is this my life?
 Bm
Ahhh
D     A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?
      A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?
      A             Bm
am I breathing underwater?
