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/G# F#m D Cause you're making me feel nervous E A E/G# 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 Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  F#m  G#  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
