F#5 G5 F#5 G5 F#5

          G5        F#5 G5 F#5
pushing a ribcage
G5        B5       E5        F#5 G5 F#5
makes it hard to breathe
           G5        F#5            G5
and yet we hold our sweaty hands
B5                E5  F#5
year after year
     G5 F#5         G5  F#5 G5
some      new year
        B5                  E5
without music in our head
F#5        G5        F#5 G5 B5              E5  F#5 A5 F#5
newspaper tenement      coming up dead


      B5                      E5     F#5
so my parachute is hanging around
          G5       F#5             G5
i guess i bust it on the ground
B5                      E5
nothing helps me fall
B5                      E5  F#5 G5
nothing helps me float
F#5    G5 F#5           G5        F#5 A5
today      i want to walk away
