[Intro 1]
[Am][Em]
[D][G][D][C][Am][Em]
[D][G][D][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
Prop me [Am]up
and keep just [Em]one hand talking
While the [D]other slips underneath
Steals [C]inches from [Am]me
[Asus4]All the lights seem[Am]
[Em]to dim on command
Lifting [D]oxygen from eyelids
[A]Calm [Am]yours[Asus4]elf
[Em]Deep breaths quarter rest [D]fill the
lungs up in your chest
[Am]Careful not to [Asus4]strain the
[Em]sound waves you'll save
[D]Just might be that of your
[Am]own voice breaking
[Em]Sounding out the words
Slipping [D]over teeth and out through tongue
[C]

[Verse 2]
Slip down, [Em]white knuckle the chair
Bring your [D]eyes back to earth or
[C]whichever one comes [Em]first
Don't leave yourself [D]hanging back
[C]Right now feels as [Em]if it never happened
Why is my [D]face all red?
Why are my [C]clothes all wet?
[Em]All the attractions [D]all the retraction and I s[C]till feel dumb
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Em][D][G][D][C]
[Am][Em][D][G][D][C]
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Blink me [Am]in or[A] blink[Em] me out
You got [D]such a great disguise you
[C]hide your[Am]self [Asus4]on the inside
[Am]Clin[Em]ging to the side of my mind[D]
Where they'll [Am]never look to [Asus4]find you
[Em]Never look to see just [D]what's inside of [Am]me
[Asus4][Am]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][D][A][Asus4][A][Am]
[Em][D]

[Verse 4]
[C]Slip down [Em]white knuckle the chair
Bring your [D]eyes back to earth or
[C]whichever one comes [Em]first
Don't leave yourself [D]hanging back
[C]Right now feels as [Em]if it never happened
Why is my [D]face all red?
Why are my [C]clothes all wet?
[Em]All the attractions [D]all the retraction
and I [C]still feel dumb

[Interlude 3]
[C][D][D][C]

[Verse 5]
Running out [C]east of here
[Em]Quoting none but [D]fools blowing out all my
breath [C]seeping in from [Em]somewhere
East of here
[D]East of everywhere
The si[C]lence is unbearable
[Em]We hold our breath and sink

[Outro 1]
our ships
[D][C][Em][D]
