Collapsible Lung by Relient K
Collapsible Lung
The only notes I'll add are that there is a difference in the first and second
verses (it switches from D A Bm to D A Bm F#m with a change in rhythm), so watch out for that.
It is necessary because one is a fingered lead and the other is when the rhythm guitar
comes in. Also, I'll point out that I've written these mainly as bar chords (because
that's how Relient K plays it), but to make it easier to read during the riff, and in
case you would like to change the fingering of each chord (i.e. a variance or power

Between the miles of open roads
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
That time won't slow down
I'm getting by with my collapsible lung
And it's a good time 100% of the time and now
Like a ladder with a missing rung
It's a slow climb headed back to the sky and now
Felling backwards when I'm trying the most
And I hope I haven't head the last words from the Holy Ghost
Cause I think that I'm suppose to be well on my way by now
I do the twist with my replaceable hips
And turn you right round
Then dig you down to the ground and now
I wan't to grow old and rub your tired limbs
And take it easy
Until we whither away
Until we whither away
Between the miles of open roads
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
That time can't slow down
Take a breath and then take it in
To think places I'll go I haven't been
To pour my heart into everything
I've found time won't slow down
I'm feeling backwards
And I hope I haven't heard the last words
No no no
Cause I think that I'm suppose to be well on my way
oh oh oh oh oh
To pour my heart into everything I've found
Between the miles of open roads
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
Time won't slow down
So take a breath and then take it in
To think places I'll go I haven't been

It's a good time, to dream one night at a time, now,
Between the miles of open roads
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
That time won't slow down
I'm getting by with my collapsible lung
And it's a good time 100% of the time and now
Like a ladder with a missing rung
It's a slow climb headed back to the sky and now
Felling backwards when I'm trying the most
And I hope I haven't head the last words from the Holy Ghost
Cause I think that I'm suppose to be well on my way by now
I do the twist with my replaceable hips
And turn you right round
Then dig you down to the ground and now
I wan't to grow old and rub your tired limbs
And take it easy
Until we whither away
Until we whither away
Between the miles of open roads
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
That time can't slow down
Take a breath and then take it in
To think places I'll go I haven't been
To pour my heart into everything
I've found time won't slow down
I'm feeling backwards
And I hope I haven't heard the last words
No no no
Cause I think that I'm suppose to be well on my way
oh oh oh oh oh
To pour my heart into everything I've found
Between the miles of open roads
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
Time won't slow down
So take a breath and then take it in
To think places I'll go I haven't been
