I Hear You Breathe chords by Neutral Milk Hotel

Verse 1:

 C                                         F
I hear you breathe as you sleep through the morning

                                    C
And the sun cracks through winter's wind

                              F
Screaming out an effervescent warning

F
That all that's true is sure to end

Verse 2:

C
But won't you peel your eyes to the TV screen

          F
Won't you read me your articles from your boring magazines

             C
And fill the spaces with your lipstick screams

             F                                             C
Well that's all you ever gave, that's all you ever gave to me

Instrumental:
C  F

Verse 3:

C
Sinking like a stone in the water all alone

             F
You will not find me

                                         C
Your reflection is the only sight you'll see

                    F
A heart that has no memory

                             C
For all your tears they will drown you

                             F
And sink you for one million miles

                                      C
And when the fear of life has finally found you

                                 F
And crushes you inside the ocean tides

                        C
My ship will be sailing by

C   F
