[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
