[Intro]
Dm C G Dm C G
[Verse]
Dm C G
Sometimes I just give up trying
Dm C G
It seems like a lifetime that I've been fighting
F C G
It was hard enough just getting out of bed today
F C G
I'd call someone, but what on earth would I even say?
[Verse]
Dm C G
Here in this airless space
Dm C G
With no one to plead your pitiful case
F C G
Some call this thing the soul of sadness
F C G
Self-indulgence or a brilliant madness
[Chorus]
F C G
All I know is, I'm dying for air
Bb C F C
Swimming just below the waves, I can see the sky
Bb C F C
Looking darkly through the haze, the moon is drifting by
Bb C F G
Someone cuts the anchor and slowly, up I rise
[Verse]
Dm C G
An unwelcome guest in your home
Dm C G
It comes here to stay and never wants to go
F C G
Not so much a shadow but a visitation
F C G
A haunting, foreign movie with no translation
[Verse]
Dm C G
There's a buzzing white noise in my head
Dm C G
Then sometimes, so silent, I’m almost dead
F C G
One true thing I hold to, dear and fast
F C G
A voice that whispers, "Darling, this too will pass”
[Chorus]
F C G
Even when I'm dying for air
Bb C F C
Swimming just below the waves, I can see the sky
Bb C F C
Looking darkly through the haze, the moon is drifting by
Bb C F G
Someone cuts the anchor and slowly, up I ri-i-ise, i-ise, i-ise
[Verse]
