As recorded by The Spill Canvas (2008 release) [Intro] Em C Em C [Verse 1]
Em              C              Am
You gotta start trying to eat again

     Em                        G
Even though the only thing you hunger for

      Am              C
Is to have back your friend

Em                G                Am
You gotta do your best to get some rest

     Em                  G
Even though time seems irrelevant now and

       Am                     Cmaj7            G
You're more than sick of this pain inside your chest
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
If this house would collapse on top of me

    C
The space would still remain

Am
Much like her body refusing to function

    C                 G  D
Her soul won't go away
[Chorus]
Em                       G
Take one breath and then take another

  Bm
Repeat these simple steps

  C
Until you feel like you're doing better

Em
Take one breath

             G
Just let the calm of it consume you

Bm
Everybody knows that it's never fair

     C                             Em  C  Em  C
This be the only one thing we can do
[Verse 2]
Em             G                   Am
You gotta keep your head above the water

     Em                G                    Am
Even though sweet suffocation is a fine temptation

              C
You'll always be her daughter

Em             G                  Am
You gotta push onward through the day

          Em              G                     Am
Keep your mind constantly running gotta let the sun in

               Cmaj7          G
She would have wanted it that way
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
If this house would collapse on top of me

    C
The space would still remain

Am
Much like her body refusing to function

    C                 D
Her soul won't go away

[Bridge]
Gmaj7                 Cmaj7
At 4 a.m when you are wide awake and fighting with yourself

Gmaj7           
There's about a thousand numbers to dial

  Am
Including mine if you need help

Gmaj7                   Cmaj7
There is no easy way to deal with these events

            Gmaj7
But if it's any consolation

       Am       Bm7    Cmaj7
I will be here, if you need a friend
[Chorus]
Em                       G

Take one breath

        Gmaj7
Let the calm of it consume you

There's really only one thing we can do
