[Intro]

D (strum 4 times)


[Verse]

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

[Bridge]

Em
I want to breathe
Em                 C
Life into the Dead Sea

Em        C   D
  As this rainforest
              Em
Falls beneath my knees
       C
I want to breathe
D
Life into the Dead Sea

Em
*Below, where is your boat?
C
You are slow, you are slow*

Em
*Below, where is your boat?
D
You are slow*


[Verse 2]

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

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


[Outro]

Em     C         D      C
I will play, the sky is black
Em     C         D      C
I will play, the sky is black
Em               Em
