Bm Open my chest and color the spine A I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all Em Swallow my breath and take what is mine G I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all Bm I'll be the blood if you'll be the bones A I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all Em So lift all my body and lose all control G I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all
