D		  am
I will try not to breath

with my hands at my knees
C		   G
these eyes are the eyes
	    D//am//C//
of the old
G			D//am//C//G//
shiver in the cold

(same as beginning)
I will try not to burden you
I can hold these inside
I will my breath until all these shivers subside
just look in my eyes.

I will try not to worry you,
I have seen things that you will never see
leave it to memory me
shudder to breath

I want you to remember

oh,

I need something to fly
over my cradle now
I need something to breathe
baby don't shiver no
why do you shiver now
I need something to fly
over my cradle now
I need something to breath

(Bridge)
emi (one bar)
ami
emi
ami
emi

(same as top)
I will try not to worry you
I have seen thing that you will never see
leave it to memory me
don't dare me to breath
I want you to remember

oh,

I need something to fly
over my cradle now
I need something to breath
baby don't shiver now
why do you shiver now
I need something to breath
I want you to remember
