Alexisonfire — It Was Fear of Myself That Made Me Odd
(Intro)
D (strum 4 times)
(Verse)
EmC
Spinning, arms spread
DC
Crushing the tops of mountains
Em
With my hands
CD
As I dive into the Pacific
CEm
I flood the shoreli-i-ines
C
And I exhale
DCEm
Causing the oceans' endless waves
C
As I emerge
DAmD
Shaking the wreckage from my ha-a-air
C (let ring) Em
With my hands
(Bridge)
Em
I want to breathe
EmC
Life into the Dead Sea
EmCD
As this rainforest
Em
Falls beneath my knees
C
I want to breathe
D
Life into the Dead Sea
Em
*Below, where is your boat?
C
You are slow, you are slow*
Em
*Below, where is your boat?
D
You are slow*
(Verse 2)
EmC
*I will play until the sky is black
D
Breathe in all the air
CEm
Exhale and choke the land with carbon burn it all
CD
Looking down from where I stand
CEm
I can see the curvature of the Earth
CDC
And I want to make it flat
(Outro)
EmCDC
I will play, the sky is black
EmCDC
I will play, the sky is black
EmEm
I will play, the sky is black*
