verse 1: 

A              D 
You hold up one hand 
        F#m 
Everyone waits 
            E 
Until we can move again 
A               D 
The burden of command 
             F#m 
Stands you up straight 
            G 
Something to prove again 
             D 
Blood in your eyes 
              Bm 
Screams on the radio 
              A               D 
They say, 'Get out of there!' 
         Bm 
We aren't finished yet 
                E            D 
You tell them to grow a pair 


A E They said this air would be breathable F#m D Get in, get out again, and no one gets hurt A E Something is pulling me up the hill D I look down in my red shirt Bm A I look down in my red shirt
D A D A D A D verse 2: A D This familiar place F#m Sun in my eyes E Right where I'm supposed to be A D I can read your face F#m I'm not surprised G You move in close to me D Then you decide Bm Now I'm remembering A D I've seen this one before Bm I can't stop watching it E D So what am I running for?
A E They said this air would be breathable F#m D Get in, get out again, and no one gets hurt A E You nod to me and point up the hill D I look down in my red shirt Bm F#m E D I look down in my red shirt F#m E D At my red shirt
verse 3: A D I don't hear the sound F#m Everything slows E All of it falls away A D They don't turn around F#m Everyone knows G It won't be them today D Instead it was me Bm Go down dramatically A D Stretching it out a bit Bm Still no one notices E D When they write me out of it
A E They said this air would be breathable F#m D I see the naked sky and I taste the dirt A E Dark at the edges and closing in D I look down in my red shirt Bm A I look down in my red shirt
D A D A D A
