[Intro]

D (strum 4 times)


[Verse]

Em      C
  Spinning, arms spread
   D        C
Crushing the tops of mountains
    Em
With my hands
   C        D
As I dive into the Pacific
 C          Em
I flood the shoreli-i-ines
    C
And I exhale
D      C        Em
Causing the oceans' endless waves
   C
As I emerge
      D    Am      D
Shaking the wreckage from my ha-a-air
    C (let ring) Em
With my hands

[Bridge]

Em
I want to breathe
Em         C
Life into the Dead Sea

Em    C  D
 As this rainforest
       Em
Falls beneath my knees
    C
I want to breathe
D
Life into the Dead Sea

Em
*Below, where is your boat?
C
You are slow, you are slow*

Em
*Below, where is your boat?
D
You are slow*


[Verse 2]

Em              C
*I will play until the sky is black
          D
Breathe in all the air
      C           Em
Exhale and choke the land with carbon burn it all

C             D
 Looking down from where I stand
C               Em
I can see the curvature of the Earth
   C        D  C
And I want to make it flat


[Outro]

Em   C     D   C
I will play, the sky is black
Em   C     D   C
I will play, the sky is black
Em        Em
