Paralyzed chords by Sixpence None The Richer

[Intro]

F#m  D  Bm   E
F#m  D  Bm   E (x2)

[Verse 1]

F#m         D
I look out to the fields
Bm           E
Where blood is shed upon the ground
F#m           D
I breathe in, breathe out
Bm           E
Change the channel, mute the sound
F#m             D         Bm                      E
I take a match, a cigarette, and a walk to clear my head
F#m             D          Bm                      E
Stomach's reeling at the thought of all those (human beings dead)

F#m          D
I breathe in, breathe out
Bm           E
I'm going to an interview
F#m           D
About a song, three minutes long
Bm               E
I just need something to do
F#m            D
Especially when my dearest friend
Bm           E
Was sent to cover kosovo
F#m                   D
His last assignment brought a bullet
Bm       E          C#
And now he's gone, he's gone

[Chorus]

D             A              Bm           F#m
Feels like I'm fiddling while rome is burning down
D             A              Bm           F#m
Should I put my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground
D             A              Bm           F#m
I need the ghost to breathe a northern gale tonight
D             A              F#m  D Bm  E (play intro)
'Cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed

[Verse 2]

F#m                   D
I packed his books up, left the office
Bm                     E
Went to tell the wife the news
F#m                   D
She fell in shock, the baby kicked,
Bm                       E
And shed a tear inside the womb
F#m             D
I breathed in, I breathed out,
Bm                       E
Soaked the gound up with my eyes
F#m                 D
It's hard to say a healing word
Bm                       E      C#
When your tongue is paralyzed

[Chorus]

D             A              Bm           F#m
Feels like I'm fiddling while rome is burning down
D             A              Bm           F#m
Should I put my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground
D             A              Bm           F#m
I need the ghost to breathe a northern gale tonight
D                    A
'Cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed

[Instrumental]

F#m            D         Bm E
I breathe in, I breathe out
F#m            D         Bm E
I breathe in, I breathe out
F#m            D         Bm E
I breathe in, I breathe out
