Won't you lend your [G] lungs to [Em] me?
Mine are collapsing.
Plant my [D] feet and [E] bitterly breathe up the [Em] time that's passed.
[D] Breath I'll [G] take and breath I'll give.
[D] Pray the [Em] day's not poised.
Stand among [G] the ones [Em] that live in lonely indecision.
_ [D] _ _ [Em] _
_ Fingers walk [G] the [Em] darkness down.
Mind is on midnight.
Gather up [D] the [Em] gold you found.
You fool, it's only moonlight.
[D] And if you stop [Em] to take it home, [Bm] your hands will turn [Em] to butter.
_ Better leave [G] this [Em] dream alone.
Try to find another. _ _ _

Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner.
Wisdom burned upon a shelf who killed a rage in cancer.
[D] Seal the [Em] river at its [D] mouth.
Take the [Em] water prisoner.
Fill the sky with screams and cries, bathing fiery answer. _ _ _ _ _

Jesus was an only son and love his only concept.
Strangers crying foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep.
[Bm] And I for one [Em] and you for two [D] ain't got the time [Em] for outside.
Keep your injured looks to you.
We'll tell the world that we tried. _ _ _ _ _
