Bm Excuse me for a minute A 'Cause this won't be brief G I've been hiding these words Bm A Under my tongue, protected G By the walls of my yellow-stained teeth They've festered and broken And they've rearranged They've misspelled themselves And now they're leaking out of my brain They say ashes to ashes And dust to dust But my heart's made of metal And the clasp's rusted shut 'Cause you left it out in the rain Chorus: Bm And if these are the last breaths A I'm breathing on Earth G Then I pray to God Bm A You remember me when G My body is deep in the Earth My back's ached for years Carrying my heavy heart It beats itself silly And pounds through the dark Sustaining a life that lives within And yet was so desperate To beat in time It rang in your rhythm And mimicked your rhyme You can't blame it for trying Or clinging to love But love's left my soul And I've forgotten love And what's left is your smoky silhouette Chorus: But if these are the last breaths I'm breathing on Earth Then I pray to God You remember me When my body is deep in the Earth These are the last breaths I'm breathing on Earth Then I pray to God You remember me When my body is deep in the Earth You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA Bm G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
