          D  F#m           Bm  G
I'm the blade, you're the knife
          D  F#m           Bm  G
I'm the weight, you're the kite
           D              F#m
They were right when they said
          Bm            G
We were breathing underwater
         D            F#m
Out of place all the time
      Bm                D      D F#m Bm G
In a world that wasn't mine to take

Chorus:
      D  F#m Bm G
I'll wait
            G
Is this my life?
 Bm  D
Ahhh
       A             Bm
Am I breathing underwater?
            G
Is this my life?
 Bm D
Ahhh
       A             Bm
Am I breathing underwater?

I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bow at their feet, in the end,
it wasn't me

Chorus

D           F#m
Nights are days
          Bm                         G
We beat a path through the mirrored maze
              D
I can see the end
    F#m
Ahhh
        Bm              G
But it hasn't happened yet
              D
I can see the end
    F#m
Ahhh
        Bm              G
But it hasn't happened yet

Chorus

       A             Bm
Am I breathing underwater?
       A             Bm
Am I breathing underwater?
       A             Bm
Am I breathing underwater?
