I took my last breath
E B
As the plane crashed
G B E B E D
I don’t even think that I got to let it out
B
And I don’t know if you noticed
E D
I don’t know if you noticed yet
B
But there’s a drought around these parts
E D
There’s no water in the well
B E D B
The dry spell, the dry spell
B
Don’t let your demons
Take you to the cleaners
Fix your posture
While you call your mother
Draw a picture -- it lasts longer
D
A body’s sacred
When it’s naked
C#
So go ahead
And let it
B
Be a Bible for another
Blood’s your compass
Let it wander
D C#
May it stick thick like a slaughter
B
Halle Halle Hallelujah
(These first two lines are just drums - so these are just chords that seem to fit the melody)
E G B
Now I return to my first purpose
A C# D
A sharp breath exhaled beneath the surface
D
Where lungs collapse like demolition
C#
And the pulse ceases to quicken 'til
D
I become as sweet as nothing
C#
I’m nothing now
Just nothing now
D
I’m nothing now
Nothing now
E
Nothing now
E D B
Nothing, I am nothing
B
From the plane
I called your name
E B
But it didn’t matter
You were home baking
A birthday cake
Cracking an egg
E B
Into the batter
D
You had a little bit of batter
C#
A little bit of batter
B
On your face
