                  A         E          F#m
When holding your breath is safer than breathing
             D     A           Bm
When letting go is braver than keeping
     D        E             F#m
When innocent words turn to lies

Like a kiss from the lips of a monster
             D            E            F#m
You know the famine so well, but never met the feast

When home is the belly of a beast

And the boat beneath you is sinking

Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have
           Bm                             Bm/A
So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    E7                          E
Surely someone will reach out a hand
    D          E             A
And show you a safe place to land


Verse 3:
     A          E         F#m
Oh, imagine yourself in a building
      D             D/C#          Bm
Up in flames, being told to stand still
    D             E             F#m
The window's wide open, this is leap is on faith
          D                                  E
You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will

           Bm                             Bm/A
So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    E7                          E
Surely someone will reach out a hand
