[Strophe]
Em 
Wont you lend your lungs to me 
D              Em 
Mine are collapsing  
Em 
Plant my feet and bitterly 
D                                            Em 
Breathe up the time that's passing 
D                             Em                (D) 
Breath I'll give and breath I'll take 
D                                       Em 
And pray the day's not poison 
Em                         D             Em 
Stand among the ones that live  
Em          D     Em 
In lonely indecision 
[Strophe]
Em 
Fingers walk the darkness down 
D                 Em 
Mind is on the midnight 
Em 
Gather up the gold you've found 
D                                            Em 
You fool it's only moonlight 
D                      Em                       (D) 
And if you try to take it home 
D                                 Em 
Your hands'll turn to butter 
Em                       D         Em 
Better leave this dream alone 
Em        D    Em 
Try to find another
[Strophe]
Em 
Salvation sat and crossed herself 
D                      Em 
And called the devil partner 
Em 
Wisdom burned upon a shelf 
D 
Who'll kill the raging cancer? 
Em 
Seal the river at its mouth 
D 
Take the water prisoner 
D                              Em 
Fill the sky with screams and cries 
D 
Bathe in fiery answer
[Strophe]
Em 
Jesus was an only son 
D              Em 
Love his only concept 
Em 
Strangers cry in foreign tongues  
D 
And dirty up the doorstep 
Em 
And I for one and you for two 
D 
Ain't got the time for outside 
D 
Just keep your injured looks to you 
D                        Em 
We'll tell the world we tried
