Am
Death
                   F
Let me catch my breath
                   Dm
Let me see what's left
Let me see what's true
                 Hm7-5
Do I really want to
      E      Am
Run from my depths
                F
Will I have regrets
                  Dm
Will I ever find you
Will I ever find words
             Hm7-5   C     F E
That give me motive to express

Bread
Will I go unfed?
Will I be that fool who rushes on in
To where angels fear to tread?
Was it me who bled
On the new death bed
And there is no fear
When you're leaning on love
Those grateful dead

Chorus:
 C       D    A G
Someone like you
    F               G       C  D
To research the meaning of love
 A       G F D
Someone, I do
    C                  D         A   G
To be there when push comes to shove
F
I know that you know
    E
The ending numbers

Chess
Let me play my best
When I do regress
Let it all unwind
'Cause we're never confined
To the board unless
There's a second guess
Look into the sky
Where we all comply
With something higher than the
Rest my love, sail through

Chorus

A#  C    Am
Sky all around
A#    C      Am
Fell to the ground
A#  C       G
Now I'm a child
A#      C      G
Stayed for a while

Flesh
Is it meaningless?
But we all protest
To the last request
Is there anything you
Could now suggest?
Did I do my best?
Did I leave it better?
Even though we look to be
Just mildly obsessed with you
Sail through

Chorus

Someone like you
To be there
