Intro:

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


Verse 1:

A augmentedA       D MajorD
You hold up one hand
    F# minorF#m
Everyone waits
      E MajorE
Until we can move again
A augmentedA        D MajorD
The burden of command
       F# minorF#m
Stands you up straight
      G+G
Something to prove again
       D MajorD
Blood in your eyes
       B minorBm
Screams on the radio
       A augmentedA        D MajorD
They say, "Get out of there!"
     B minorBm
We aren't finished yet
        E MajorE      D MajorD
You tell them to grow a pair

Chorus:

A augmentedA             E MajorE
They said this air would be breathable
F# minorF#m            D MajorD
Get in, get out again, and no one gets hurt
A augmentedA           E MajorE
Something is pulling me up the hill
   D MajorD
I look down in my red shirt
   B minorBm       A augmentedA
I look down in my red shirt

D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


Verse 2:

A augmentedA      D MajorD
This familiar place
     F# minorF#m
Sun in my eyes
        E MajorE
Right where I'm supposed to be
A augmentedA       D MajorD
I can read your face
    F# minorF#m
I'm not surprised
      G+G
You move in close to me
    D MajorD
Then you decide
    B minorBm
Now I'm remembering
       A augmentedA      D MajorD
I've seen this one before
      B minorBm
I can't stop watching it
      E MajorE       D MajorD
So what am I running for?

Chorus:

A augmentedA             E MajorE
They said this air would be breathable
F# minorF#m            D MajorD
Get in, get out again, and no one gets hurt
A augmentedA           E MajorE
You nod to me and point up the hill
   D MajorD
I look down in my red shirt
   B minorBm       F# minorF#m  E MajorE D MajorD
I look down in my red shirt
     F# minorF#m  E MajorE D MajorD
At my red shirt


Verse 3:

A augmentedA        D MajorD
I don't hear the sound
     F# minorF#m
Everything slows
     E MajorE
All of it falls away
A augmentedA        D MajorD
They don't turn around
    F# minorF#m
Everyone knows
      G+G
It won't be them today
       D MajorD
Instead it was me
      B minorBm
Go down dramatically
       A augmentedA     D MajorD
Stretching it out a bit
      B minorBm
Still no one notices
         E MajorE     D MajorD
When they write me out of it


Chorus:

A augmentedA             E MajorE
They said this air would be breathable
F# minorF#m          D MajorD
I see the naked sky and I taste the dirt
A augmentedA          E MajorE
Dark at the edges and closing in
   D MajorD
I look down in my red shirt
   B minorBm       A augmentedA
I look down in my red shirt
