Intro
don't be late
there's no time to be afraid
there's a way

without the oxygen I need

deciding as I wait for air to entertain

careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
E
the right time and the right way to elevate
AM7 C#m C#m7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
E A7sus4
to breathe in the air that so proudly puts to death

my own Father's name
