pushing a ribcage
G B E F# G F#
makes it hard to breathe
G F# G
and yet we hold our sweaty hands
B E F#
year after year
G F# G F# G
some new year
B E
without music in our head
F# G F# G B E F# A F#
newspaper tenement coming up dead
B E F#
so my parachute is hanging around
G F# G
i guess i bust it on the ground
B E
nothing helps me fall
B E F# G
nothing helps me float
F# G F# G F# A
today i want to walk away
