[Intro]

D MajorD (strum 4 times)


[Verse]

E minorEm      C majorC
  Spinning, arms spread
   D MajorD        C majorC
Crushing the tops of mountains
    E minorEm
With my hands
   C majorC        D MajorD
As I dive into the Pacific
 C majorC          E minorEm
I flood the shoreli-i-ines
    C majorC
And I exhale
D MajorD      C majorC        E minorEm
Causing the oceans' endless waves
   C majorC
As I emerge
      D MajorD    A minorAm      D MajorD
Shaking the wreckage from my ha-a-air
    C majorC (let ring) E minorEm
With my hands

[Bridge]

E minorEm
I want to breathe
E minorEm         C majorC
Life into the Dead Sea

E minorEm    C majorC  D MajorD
 As this rainforest
       E minorEm
Falls beneath my knees
    C majorC
I want to breathe
D MajorD
Life into the Dead Sea

E minorEm
*Below, where is your boat?
C majorC
You are slow, you are slow*

E minorEm
*Below, where is your boat?
D MajorD
You are slow*

[Verse 2]

E minorEm              C majorC
*I will play until the sky is black
          D MajorD
Breathe in all the air
      C majorC           E minorEm
Exhale and choke the land with carbon burn it all

C majorC             D MajorD
 Looking down from where I stand
C majorC               E minorEm
I can see the curvature of the Earth
   C majorC        D MajorD  C majorC
And I want to make it flat


[Outro]

E minorEm   C majorC     D MajorD   C majorC
I will play, the sky is black
E minorEm   C majorC     D MajorD   C majorC
I will play, the sky is black
E minorEm        E minorEm
