Verse 1:
   E MajorE      EdimEdim  A/EA/E  E MajorE
It's best to not breathe in at all
   F#m7F#m7
Your teachers say
  B7B7                E MajorE
The toxins in the air will take your life away
   E MajorE        Db7b9Db7b9
But don't believe a word from them
    F# minorF#m
You'll be okay
    B7B7  B7B7+5    E MajorE  B7B7
For I will breathe with you

Verse 2:
  E MajorE     EdimEdim A/EA/E   E MajorE
You can't afford to show your face
  F# minorF#m
And smile back
   B7B7               E MajorE
The spark of a new love can cause a heart attack
  E MajorE        Db7b9Db7b9
So leave me here to smile
     F# minorF#m
Until my teeth turn black
  B7B7         E MajorE
And I won't grieve for you

Chorus:
      A augmentedA   E7E7
And in the coming years
       A augmentedA  E7E7
We all will disappear
     F#7F#7            B minorBm
Into the clouds that the rain falls from
      D MajorD   G#dim7G#dim7
And if we make believe
      A/C#A/C#   Adim7/C
Our bodies create the seas
  Bm/F#     E7E7  A augmentedA  F#F# B minorBm E7E7 A augmentedA F#F# B minorBm E MajorE EMaj7Emaj7 E7E7
We'll feel less worrisome

Verse 3:
  E MajorE      EdimEdim A/EA/E  E MajorE    F# minorF#m
I can't pretend to know why some die by the sword
  B7B7
Was taught when I was young
       E MajorE
One day I'd meet the Lord
  E MajorE      Db7b9Db7b9
But sitting here in class
        F# minorF#m
That talk just makes me bored
    B7B7  B7B7+     E MajorE   B7B7
While others nod their heads

Verse 4:
   E MajorE     EdimEdim   A/EA/E  E MajorE    F# minorF#m
I've always felt this distance I could not explain
   B7B7                E MajorE
I've chalked it up as something wrong inside my brain
   E MajorE     Db7b9Db7b9
But maybe we're all lost
       F# minorF#m
Since we all bleed the same
  B7B7      E7E7
Remember what I said

Chorus:
       A augmentedA  E7E7
That in the coming years
       A augmentedA E7E7
We all will disappear
     F#7F#7             B minorBm
Into the clouds that the rain falls from
     D MajorD   G#dim7G#dim7
And if we make believe
      A/C#A/C#   Adim7/C
Our bodies create the seas
    Bm/F#
We'll feel less worrisome
