Fmaj7    G  D7#9 D7b9
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em                         A7
   Breathe, breathe in the air
Em                    A7
   Don't be afraid to care
Em                    A7
   Leave, don't leave me
Em                          A7
Look around and choose your own ground

Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
Fmaj7
All you touch and all you see

[Verse 2]
 
Em             A7
   Run, rabbit run
Em                        A7
Dig that hole, forget the sun
Em                              A7
   And when at last the work is done
Em                                  A7
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Cmaj7
Long you live and high you fly
    Bm7
But only if you ride the tide
Fmaj7
Balanced on the biggest wave
    G               D7#9    D7b9  Em
You race towards an early grave

Great chords, printed and will use, although substituting Bm7 for a regular Bm.

Richard Wright wrote that D7#9 D7b9 part, so y'all have him to thank for this chaos. Damn Rick and his jazz chords.
