Intro:
BbEbBb x2
BbEbBb
Walking past the graveyard
BbEbBb
We’re holding in our breaths
DmGm
It’s a long way to the corner
EbF
Trying not to wake the guests inside
BbEbBb
The rows of mausoleums
BbEbBb
The gate with iron wings
DmGm
They are there though we can’t see them
EbF
As the breath inside is burning
G7
‘Til the games we play as children
Cm
Come to harden into bone
F7BbEbBb x2
Running from this city made of stone
BbEbBb
I’m walking past the graveyard
BbEbBb
May the breath inside me stay
DmGm
As I stumble out the bar room
EbF
Or I’m face down in the hallway
G7
Where the games we played as children
Cm
Keep us safe when we’re alone
F7BbEbBb x2
Hiding from this city made of stone
Solo: G7CmCm6 (BbEbBb x2)
G7CmF7 (BbEbBb x2)
BbEbBb
I’m walking past the graveyard
BbEbBb
Another year has passed
DmGm
And the breath that I’ve been holding
EbF
Is rising up at last
BbEbBb
Until it burns through all the sadness
BbEbBb
As breath just wants to spill
DmGm
But if I’m breathing, then I’m talking
EbF
Then I’m kneeling on a hill and saying
BbEb
How I miss you
BbEb
How I miss you
BbEb
How I miss you
Bb
Still
