F# G F# G F#

          G        F# G F#
pushing a ribcage
G        B       E        F# G F#
makes it hard to breathe
           G        F#            G
and yet we hold our sweaty hands
B                E  F#
year after year
     G F#         G  F# G
some      new year
        B                  E
without music in our head
F#        G        F# G B              E  F# A F#
newspaper tenement      coming up dead


      B                      E     F#
so my parachute is hanging around
          G       F#             G
i guess i bust it on the ground
B                      E
nothing helps me fall
B                      E  F# G
nothing helps me float
F#    G F#           G        F# A
today      i want to walk away
