Note: * means to improvise vocals
[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 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
I will play, the sky is black*
