[Verse 1]
Cmaj7            D
falling down the stairs
D              Cmaj7
climb into the sea
Cmaj7                D
the world is on it's hands
D                 Cmaj7
then it's on it's feet
Cmaj7            D
touch the silent man
D                  Cmaj7
who cares where he goes
Cmaj7               D
stand high upon his back
D                            Cmaj7
like the ground beneath your toes


[Chorus]
Em                         D       C
the breeze is too much for me - anymore
C                  G
(I've seen this in people who are weak)
Em                         D
and if I push the blade in deep
D                       C
will in break inside of me
C         G              D
in me, in me, in me...in me

D  Cmaj7

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7          D
reaching for a star
D                        Cmaj7
with my eyes dead on the floor
Cmaj7          D
racing all the time
D                       Cmaj7
my soul can't take much more
Cmaj7            D
touch the silent man
D                   Cmaj7
who made himself so low


[Chorus]
Em                         D       C
the breeze is too much for me - anymore
C                  G
(I've seen this in people who are weak)
Em                         D
and if I push the blade in deep
D                       C
will in break inside of me
C         G              Em
in me, in me, in me...in me


[Bridge]
Em   G   F#   F
F                   Em    G   F#
will I spit on him again
F               Em      G   F#
and turn myself away
F                 Em    Cmaj7 D
what more will it take


[Solo]


[Verse 3]
Cmaj7            D
falling down the stairs
D              Cmaj7
climb into the sea
Cmaj7                D
the world is on it's hands
D                 Cmaj7
then it's on it's feet
Cmaj7            D
touch the silent man
D                   Cmaj7
who made himself so low
Cmaj7             D
make yourself as small
D                 Cmaj7
just He and I and all
