Intro
don't be late
there's no time to be afraid
there's a way
to clean up the mess you've made

if I could tell the truth

don't say it's just a game we play

will change me from red to white
Dm
every thought that you know I'm thinking

may as well be the knife stuck in my back

then sinking like a stone in the sea
Dm G/B C
without the oxygen I need
C
deciding as I wait for air to entertain

careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
C
the right time and the right way to elevate
FM7 Am Am7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
C A7sus4
to breathe in the air that so proudly puts to death

my own Father's name

I re--member when your hand started shaking

there's a better way

to clean up the mess you've been making
