I will try not to breathe

      C            G             Dsus4          Am
I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees

      C              G          D  Am  C
These eyes are the eyes of the old,

G          Dsus4  Am  C  G
shiver and fold
[Verse 2]

This decision is mine, I have lived a full life

Just look in my eyes
