Young Lungs chords by Into It Over It

Intro:


 E                   A
I've conjured up a plan,


       Cm7      F#7
as a sentimental man,


      Am                  E
to destroy our things in style.


 E                                A
It involves our belongings in a pile,

               Cm7        F#7
some lighter fluid and a smile,


           Am                                 E
and some matches with "Chicago" inscribed on every stick.



Verse:


 E                                  A
Strangers could see the flames for miles


              Cm7              F#7
-- from any highway or any hilltop --


          Am
and we'd pass out as the smoke billows


     C      Bm       E
and spills into our young lungs.



Pre-Chorus:


 E                                 A
With what strength that we'd have left


               Cm7             F#7
we'd save each others final breaths


       Am                       E
for a distressed phone call to 9-1-1


                       A
and in minutes they'd arrive,


     Cm7              F#7
horrified at what they might find.



Chorus:


       Am      Gbm    Am        Gbm
It'd be you and I and a pile of ashes


         C       Bm             E
hand in hand and in each others arms,


         C       Bm             E
hand in hand and in each others arms,


         C       Bm             E
hand in hand and in each others arms...



Bridge:


 Cm7                F#7
but it's not that bad.


      C
They revived me on the scene


             A               E
and took my temperature and pulse


             Cm7                         F#7
and while the handsome paramedic gave you mouth-to-mouth,


          A
I bit my tongue


                   C    Bm    E
in hopes they could save your life,


                   C    Bm    E
in hopes they could save your life.




     C       Bm      C        Bm
Just you and I and a pile of ashes


         C       Bm             E
hand in hand and in each others arms.



Outro:


     E                   A
In a week when we look back,


         Cm7             F#7
we'll be bandaged up, but laugh it off.


          Am
And your skin might be thicker and my stuff, it might be gone,


                C       Bm                         E
but we'll have crammed everything we need in this song.


            C              Bm               E
We'll have everything we'd need inside this song.


      C      Bm       C       Bm
Just you and I and a pile of ashes


         C       Bm              E
hand in hand and in each others arms.
