The Crane Wives – Canary In A Coal Mine (Guitar)

       C#m              G#                 F#          A           E
You and I are friends of empty graves, black air and black, black lungs

  C#m           G#                   F#          A              E
Am I the only thing that keeps you safe when the light is gone?

    E                                 A        E
But I still hold out hope that maybe someday

              E                                 A
I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way

        C#m            G#                           F#              A               E
Feed me promises, keep my heart well, I'll sing you songs until the darkness does recede

       C#m          G#                         F#             A          E
But if in the end I lose my voice, will you forget about your love for me?

    E                                 A        E
But I still hold out hope that maybe someday

              E                                 A       E
I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way

    E                                   A       E
And when you break the surface, oh, without me

               E                             A         E   G#
Please don't return me to the dark of all my memory (yeah)

        C#m             G#                     F#              A       E
Let the dirt hang heavy in your chest, drag me deeper down, below the ground

          C#m              G#
Know that all my love will be your breath

       F#*                A*            E*
I will save you when your lights go out
