 Bm               D
Take this bloody war of mine away
     G
I'm lost for words to say
            D           A  
Will they greet me at dawn
Bm                 D
Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls
         G
I'm not ready for the call
            D          A  
That will greet me at dawn

       Bm
I just take what someone wants
D
Race when I'm in front
F#m                 A
Break what i don't need
              E                    G      D
It's nice to watch somebody breathe, for me
      F#
I am tired of my own

Chorus:
          Bm
Well now come sit next to me
          D
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
              G
Been wasting time like it
just doesn't matter very much
        D                 A  
So I'm happy for the company
      Bm
And I sat here for eternity
    D
No wife and no family
        G
And I thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
          D                           A  
When you say that you're in love with me

            G          D
Won't you breathe for me
       A         Bm
I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past
Let me, let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past
I just take what someone wants
Race when I’m in front
Break what I don’t need
It’s nice to watch somebody breathe
On me now, I am tired of my own

Chorus

Won’t you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own
Won’t you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own

Chorus

Won’t you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own
Won’t you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own
