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
