Tuning: Full step down
Intro:
A E C#m B
[Verse 1]
A E
I see him dive towards me
C#m B
Through an angelic canopy
A E
And when he sounds patience breath
C#m B
He pours himself into my lungs, my savior has come
F#m E
What's luck?
C#m B F#m A
What's luck got to say to questions of fate, my love?
[Pre-Chorus]
E B F#m A
For I've been tryin' my best to keep, keep up above
E B F#m A
And I'd be lyin' if I said... never questioned what it's worth
E B F#m
'Cause I'm tryin', I'm tryin', but I'm dyin'
A E B
I feel life break beneath the waves
[Chorus]
F#m A
But won't let them hold me
E B F#m
No, won't let them hold me down, no more
A E
I breathe the breath of light
A C#m B
F#m A C#m B
[Verse 2]
A E
See her rise with beauty
C#m B
Indifferent to mortality
A E
Holding my severed wrists
C#m
Like a mountain made to fall
B F#m E
She collapses in a motion to drown me
C#m
And I wouldn't take this breath
B F#m A
If he hadn't dove down and found me
[Pre-Chorus]
E B F#m A
For I've been tryin' my best to keep, keep up above
E B F#m A
And I'd be lyin' if I said... never questioned what it's worth
E B F#m
'Cause I'm tryin', I'm tryin', but I'm dyin'
A E B
I feel life break beneath the waves
[Chorus]
F#m A
But won't let them hold me
E B
No, won't let them hold me down
F#m A
No, won't let them hold me
E B
No, won't let them hold me down
[Bridge]
F#m A
It's all I got
(Iron walls of waves are breakin' over me)
C#m B
But it's enough to breathe the dyin' light of love
F#m A
(Iron walls of waves are breakin' over me)
C#m B
And it's enough to breathe the dyin' light of love
F#m A
(Iron walls of waves are breakin' over me)
C#m B
And it's enough to breathe the dyin' light of love
F#m A
(Iron walls of waves are breakin' over me)
[Chorus]
C#m B
But won't let them hold me down
F#m A
No, won't let them hold me
C#m B
No, won't let them hold me down
F#m A
No, won't let them hold me
C#m B
No, won't let them hold me down
F#m
No more
A E
I breathe the breath of light
