Miyazaki chords by Paris Paloma

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Verse 1:
                     G
I have something to say
As has anyone who's ever made
                  C
Anything worth enjoying
Nobody can destroy it
                     D
Left unchecked it mutates
                         Em
Bleeding desperation to create
                     C
Collapses me like a star
Sickness inside my heart
Verse 2:
    G                                                         C
Whenever I fear death I think of that which I would fear much more
                                               D
Never dying, is that what you all are striving for
                          Em                 C
I leave a stream of greenery in every path I walk
Chased by a monster of a thousand voices that always wants
One more
Chorus:
                               G
Please don't ever take it from me
C                          Em                 C
 Changes the colour of the air that I breathe

Verse 3:
                     G
In grief's fertile land
The space in between clapping hands
                C
They say it'll pass
I used to pray that it would
                                  D
But its absence never brought anything good
                  Em
I wake in the morning
Do all of my chores then
     G
Of thinking in silence
And drinking sweet wine
           D
Putting my mind somewhere outside
      Em
Where it can feel the sun
C
Maybe it'll connect with someone
Pre-Chorus:
G
 The world's the world
And I'm a person in a tiny body
C
 I vow to live
                                        D
I won't let fear be anything that stops me
                          Em                           C
I'm not a violent person but I make things with aggression
                                                  G
I'm not a violent person but my work is one exception
Chorus:
                              G
I won't let you take it from me
C                           Em                 C
  Changes the colour of the air that I breathe

Bridge:
  Am7
I wasn't always tortured
I made art long before then
  D
I call into the void until I lose my voice but
       G
Sometimes a cry reverberates back
A child with mud caked hands
        Em
Or a prolific and obsessive older man
             Am7
I'd do it unpaid, unseen, unthanked
           D
It's worth more than anything that I have
      G
(You can never have it ever, you can never have it ever, you can never have it ever)
Outro:
                             G
I won't let you take it from me
C                           Em                C
 Changes the colour of the air that I breathe
                             G
I won't let you take it from me
C                           Em                C
 Changes the colour of the air that I breathe
                             G
I won't let you take it from me
