[Intro] F#m D Bm E F#m D Bm E (x2) [Verse 1]
F#m         D
I look out to the fields

Bm           E
Where blood is shed upon the ground

F#m           D
I breathe in, breathe out

Bm           E
Change the channel, mute the sound

F#m             D         Bm                      E
I take a match, a cigarette, and a walk to clear my head

F#m             D          Bm                      E
Stomach's reeling at the thought of all those (human beings dead)

F#m          D
I breathe in, breathe out

Bm           E
I'm going to an interview

F#m           D
About a song, three minutes long

Bm               E
I just need something to do

F#m            D
Especially when my dearest friend

Bm           E
Was sent to cover kosovo

F#m                   D
His last assignment brought a bullet

Bm       E          C#  
And now he's gone, he's gone
[Chorus]
D             A              Bm           F#m
Feels like I'm fiddling while rome is burning down

D             A              Bm           F#m
Should I put my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground

D             A              Bm           F#m
I need the ghost to breathe a northern gale tonight

D             A              F#m  D Bm  E (play intro)
'Cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
[Verse 2]
F#m                   D
I packed his books up, left the office

Bm                     E
Went to tell the wife the news

F#m                   D
She fell in shock, the baby kicked,

Bm                       E
And shed a tear inside the womb

F#m             D
I breathed in, I breathed out,

Bm                       E
Soaked the gound up with my eyes

F#m                 D
It's hard to say a healing word

Bm                       E      C#
When your tongue is paralyzed
[Chorus]
D             A              Bm           F#m
Feels like I'm fiddling while rome is burning down

D             A              Bm           F#m
Should I put my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground

D             A              Bm           F#m
I need the ghost to breathe a northern gale tonight

D                    A              
'Cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
[Instrumental] F#m D Bm E

I breathe in, I breathe out
