(strum 4 times)
[Verse 1]
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*
