Intro: E - B - C#m - B - A (2x)
(verse)
E                  B
Could we do it again
C#m                  B
If he asked how it felt
A
And I didn't say this time
E                              B
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts
C#m                  B
That means not a thing
A
'Cause I'm down behind you

(verse)

Could we swing it again

If I changed how he looked

And turned to the right to bend

You live with something that I can't explain

But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining
A                        B
You feel things in your own way
C#m                              B
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
A                        B                    C#m
I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see
B
I don't want to be you
A
You don't want to be me.
B
Just let it breathe 
E - B - C#m - B - A
(verse)

If the moon goes up tomorrow and I'm down on a farm

And you don't believe whose writing with me

Keep your hands to yourself

Keep your mind to yourself

Keep your breath to yourself

Let me float on by you

(chorus)

You see things in your own way

And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you

I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see

You don't want to be me

I don't want to be you

(bridge)
A        E       A      E
It's so very necessary
A        E                  A          E
It's so delectable to see a stone
A        G#m                C#m      B
It's so impossible to find a reason
            A
When you're standing there
B
Watching me now
E - B - C#m - B - A

(verse)
Could we live it again
If we dressed just the same
And held on to lovers when
We couldn't really live with anyone
See mostly ourselves so just go on lying

(chorus)
You feel things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for someone that I can't see
I don't want to be you
You don't want to be me

(A-E till end)
Just let it breathe
Let it breathe
