[Intro] E Edim A/E E F#m B7 E E G#m7b5 Db7b9 F#m B7 B7+ E B7 [Verse 1]
     E            Edim   A/E   E
It's best to not breathe in at all

     F#m7
Your teachers say

    B7                                E
The toxins in the air will take your life away

     E               Db7b9
But don't believe a word from them

       F#m
You'll be okay

       B7    B7+5       E   B7
For I will breathe with you
[Verse 2]
    E          Edim  A/E      E
You can't afford to show your face

    F#m
And smile back

     B7                              E
The spark of a new love can cause a heart attack

    E               Db7b9
So leave me here to smile

          F#m
Until my teeth turn black

    B7                 E
And I won't grieve for you
[Chorus]
            A      E7
And in the coming years

             A    E7
We all will disappear

          F#7                        Bm
Into the clouds that the rain falls from

           D     Fdim7
And if we make believe

            A/E      Adim7/Eb
Our bodies create the seas

      E/D         E7   A   F#  Bm  E7  A  F#  Bm E Emaj7 E7
We'll feel less worrisome
A Ebdim7 [Verse 3]
   E            Edim  A/E    E       F#m
I can't pretend to know why some die by the sword

    B7
Was taught when I was young

             E
One day I'd meet the Lord

    E            Db7b9
But sitting here in class

                F#m
That talk just makes me bored

       B7   B7+         E     B7
While others nod their heads
[Verse 4]
      E          Edim     A/E   E       F#m
I've always felt this distance I could not explain

     B7                                E
I've chalked it up as something wrong inside my brain

      E          Db7b9
But maybe we're all lost

             F#m
Since we all bleed the same

   B7           E7
Remember what I said
[Chorus]
              A    E7
That in the coming years

             A  E7
We all will disappear

         F#7                         Bm
Into the clouds that the rain falls from

          D     Fdim7
And if we make believe

            A/E      Adim7/Eb
Our bodies create the seas

       E/D
We'll feel less worrisome
[Outro] A F# Bm E7 A F# Bm E Emaj7 E7 A Ebdim7 A/E
