E G#m7b5 Db7b9 F#m B7 B7+ E B7

[Verse 1]
     E            Edim   A/E   EIt's best to not breathe in at all
     F#m7Your teachers say
    B7                                EThe toxins in the air will take your life away
     E               Db7b9But don't believe a word from them
       F#mYou'll be okay
       B7    B7+5       E   B7For I will breathe with you

[Verse 2]
    E          Edim  A/E      EYou can't afford to show your face
    F#mAnd smile back
     B7                              EThe spark of a new love can cause a heart attack
    E               Db7b9So leave me here to smile
          F#mUntil my teeth turn black
    B7                 EAnd I won't grieve for you

[Chorus]
            A      E7And in the coming years
             A    E7We all will disappear
          F#7                        BmInto the clouds that the rain falls from
           D     G#dim7And if we make believe
            A/C#      Adim7/COur bodies create the seas
    Bm/F#         E7   A   F#  Bm  E7  A  F#  Bm E Emaj7 E7We'll feel less worrisome


A  Ebdim7

[Verse 3]
   E            Edim  A/E    E       F#mI can't pretend to know why some die by the sword
    B7Was taught when I was young
             EOne day I'd meet the Lord
    E            Db7b9But sitting here in class
                F#mThat talk just makes me bored
       B7   B7+         E     B7While others nod their heads

[Verse 4]
      E          Edim     A/E   E       F#mI've always felt this distance I could not explain
     B7                                EI've chalked it up as something wrong inside my brain
      E          Db7b9But maybe we're all lost
             F#mSince we all bleed the same
   B7           E7Remember what I said

[Chorus]
              A    E7That in the coming years
             A  E7We all will disappear
         F#7                         BmInto the clouds that the rain falls from
          D     G#dim7And if we make believe
            A/C#      Adim7/COur bodies create the seas
       Bm/F#We'll feel less worrisome
