[Intro]
 
Am        C/G
N.C       N.C 
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am        C/G
I hold my breath
Am        C/G
I hold my breath
    Fmaj7
For humanity's sake
        C/G
For the way we hold the space
          Fmaj7
For every color, every race
   C/G
Or political taste
        Fmaj7
I've my head above the water
        C/G
I've my arms limp at my side
       Fmaj7
What a habit, what a waste
   C/G
To take take take
G
Take more than you need
Fmaj7
An unconscious thing
G
Many have been silenced but I have come to sing
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am    C/G
La de di di di di...
Dm    Am      G
La de di di di di...
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am      C/G
Soon to exhale
Am      C/G
Soon to set sail
          Fmaj7
There are men who cast their nets
             C/G
In search of purpose and respect
       Fmaj7
Coming back with emptiness
           C/G
Forgetting all their privileges
             Fmaj7
I watch them pass on the sidewalk
           C/G
I drink my coffee write my thoughts
          Fmaj7
Check the weather check my watch
        C/G
Waiting for the sun to drop
G
So I can start a fire
Fmaj7
And signal all the plain
G
The world's about to shift again and we'll never be the same
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am    C/G
La de di di di di...
Dm    Am      G
La de di di di di...
Am    C/G
La de di di di di...
Dm    Am      G
La de di di di di...
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Fmaj7     G
We oughta take things
C/G Cadd9   Am
Far more personal
Fmaj7            G
What do we stand for
       C/G  Cadd9  Am
And is it salvageable?
Fmaj7         G
Ouuuuuh       ouuuuh
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am    C/G
La de di di di di...
Dm    Am      G
La de di di di di...
Am    C/G
La de di di di di...
Dm    Am      G
La de di di di di...
 
 
[Outro]
