Verse 1: (Clean/Distorted Guitar)

Em                  G
You were hungry for life
              Dsus4
Then you took mine
              Asus4 (*distortion*)
Left me so hollow
Em                 G
And I was eager to play
                   Dsus4
To give you all of me
                   Asus4
For what I'll never know


Chorus 1: (Clean Guitar)

Cmaj7
Well I'll rest my eyes
                 Em           G
And I'll let the earth breathe
Cmaj7
And I'll bide my time
             Em           G
I'll let the earth breathe


Verse 2: (Distorted Guitar)

Em                          G
We want the smoke from our flames
                 Dsus4
It's our saving grace
                 Asus4
Our lasting passion
Em                        G
And with a knife in our soul
         Dsus4
We realize
                 Asus4
We will not feel it


Chorus 2: (Distorted Guitar)

Cmaj7
Well I'll rest my eyes
                 Em           G
And I'll let the earth breathe
Cmaj7
And I'll bide my time
             Em           G
I'll let the earth breathe
