       D               Am
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

       D                Am
I will try not to breathe,

       C            G             Dsus4        Am
This decision is mine I have lived a full life

     C                G     Am              C
and these are the eyes that I want you to remember

Dsus4         Am        C              G           D  Am  C
I will hold my breath until all these shivers subside

     G          Dsus4  Am  C  G
Just look in my eyes

       D             Am       C               G              Dsus4        Am

C             G       D  Am  C    G           Dsus4  Am  C  G
