I took my last breath
E       B
 As the plane crashed
G                              B E       B   E D
 I don’t even think that I got to let it out
    B
And I don’t know if you noticed
E                   D
I don’t know if you noticed yet
              B
But there’s a drought around these parts
           E            D
There’s no water in the well
    B         E    D   B
The dry spell, the dry spell
 
B
Don’t let your demons
 
Take you to the cleaners
 
Fix your posture
 
While you call your mother
 
Draw a picture -- it lasts longer
  D
A body’s sacred
 
When it’s naked
      C#
So go ahead
 
And let it
     B
Be a Bible for another
 
Blood’s your compass
 
Let it wander
       D                  C#
May it stick thick like a slaughter
                 B
Halle Halle Hallelujah
 
 
(These first two lines are just drums - so these are just chords that seem to fit the melody)
    E           D             B
Now I return to my first purpose
        A                 C#        D   E
A sharp breath exhaled beneath the surface
      D
Where lungs collapse like demolition
        C#
And the pulse ceases to quicken 'til
D
I become as sweet as nothing
     C#
I’m nothing now
 
Just nothing now
    D
I’m nothing now
 
Nothing now
E
Nothing now
E        D    B
Nothing, I am nothing
 
B
From the plane
 
I called your name
       E      B
But it didn’t matter
 
You were home baking
 
A birthday cake
 
Cracking an egg
  E      B
Into the batter
          D
You had a little bit of batter
             C#
A little bit of batter
        B
On your face
