A Bm
A Bm
[Verse 1]
A
Johnny, get a hold of your life
A
Wherever I go
A Bm
Your face is in front of me
Bm
(you aren't breathing)
[Verse 2]
A
Holding up the end of the line
A
If there ever was a crack in the ice
A Bm
You don't believe in it
Bm
You are a diamond, set
[Pre-Chorus]
D
On an immaculate height.
[Interlude]
A Bm
A Bm
[Verse 3]
A
Belly up and under the wire
A Bm
Lying awake in the hours and the emptiness
[Verse 4]
A
Only to run from the days we are living in
A Bm
You only get a look at your life when you're leaving it
Bm
And in the silences
[Chorus]
D
When you're arrested in flight
D
When you lie on your back
D
With your eyes on the firmament
[Interlude 2]
A Bm
[Verse 5]
A
Your burning mouth, your blazing eyes
Bm
Come on!
Bm
If you believe in it
[Chorus]
D
It's a respectable life.
D
Go police all the beats
D
You'll find nothing is innocent
[Verse 6]
A
Johnny, get a hold of your life
A Bm
Stop at the edge till the animus drains away
[Verse 7]
A
Or follow the loneliest road
A
Run in the dark
A Bm
Till a light comes screaming in
Bm
Through the silences
[Chorus]
D
You are alone on the ice
D
And you stand on the brakes
D A
To find nothing is happening
