 D
Roll up another cigarette
F#m                E
Using the minute that it takes
D                                 F#m E
To think about the power of your words
                     D
We're living in the currents you create
                     F#m              E
We're sinking in the pool of your mistakes
D                            F#m
So stub it out, your podium awaits

D      E       A
Oh my God, my God
D        E      F#m       A
I can't quite believe my ears

Chorus:
      A              D
I'm swimming to the surface
     E             A
I'm coming up for air
 E            F#m            D
Cause you're making me feel nervous
   E                A    E  
I need to clear my head
F#m        D
I can't believe my ears
Bm              F#m       E
I don't wanna believe my ears
      A              D
I'm swimming to the surface
     E             A
I'm coming up for air

How can you think you're serious?
Do you even know what year it is?
I can't believe the scary points you make
Still living in the currents you create
Still sinking in the pool of your mistakes
Won't you stop firing up the crazies?

Oh my God, my God
I can't quite believe my ears

Chorus

A                                   D
(When anybody preaches this unity tries
to pit one of us against the other,)
A                                         D
(you know that person seeks to rob us of our
freedom and destroy our very lives)

A
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
D
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
A
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
D
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
A
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
D
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
A
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
D
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
