Alkaline Trio – Those Lungs (Guitar)

G            C                Em     C
Now I lay me down to pass out wasted again

G          C              Em                C          G
Guess that makes this the seventh time this week

                  C
And there's some words in my head

           Em
That could keep me from dying

        C                 G
Are you handling this any better than I am?

      C                          Em                C
If I keep it together, will you promise to keep us together?

        G                  C
Oh, sometimes we lose each other

     Em                     C
But please don't lose your tongue

                      G               C
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours

          Em                   C
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs

                G                C
And when you're finally able to fall asleep

           Em        C
Though the sun might disagree

           G                  C
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe

     Em      C      G
'Til you wake up to me

G                      C                     Em        C
How's it happened that I get to have you for so long?

                     G
And then you're just ripped away from me

         C
As I get tossed out to the sea

             Em                             C
To fight the sharks out there waiting for a wind swell

        G              C                Em   C
Oh, I'm kind of like a sailor, back in 1942

              G
Yeah, I wanna fight the good fight

     C                Em           C
But goddamn, I'm gonna miss you

        G                  C
Oh, sometimes we lose each other

    Em                     C
But please don't lose your tongue

                      G               C
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours

          Em                   C
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs

                G               C
And when you're finally able to fall asleep

           Em            C
Though the sun might disagree

           G                  C
I'm gonna lay right there and watch you breathe

     Em       C     G
'Til you wake up to me

C                      G      C    Em
Please don't lose your tongue

C                       G
Please don't lose those lungs

C      Em    C
Yeah!

        G                  C
Oh, sometimes we lose each other

     Em                    C
But please don't lose your tongue

                      G               C
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours

               Em              C

                G               C
And when you're finally able to fall asleep

           Em            C

          G                   C
