 <i></i>C
 Throw them down your throat.
 C                    
 Many rivers to cross.
 C                              
 Laugh under granite-grey skies,
        G              F C 
 As if it's their loss.
 
 C                   C               
 Slip on your floor; bound aftermath.
 C                                
 That which has stolen your years.
                   G               F 
 Son, don't become one more shadow.
                 C           
 Don't drop your anchor here.
 
 C                                    
 Broken down liver and withered frame.
 C                                
 Lungs wrinkled like old balloons.
 C                             
 Dampen your spirits by sunrise
           G           
 And swear at the moon.
 
 C                F                                     Em     
 'Cause sometimes it's like trying to breathe through a pillow,
 G                      F                        C    
 Trying to dance on the tightrope in the pouring rain.
 C                    F                       Em         
 Sometimes it's like, like you're treading on egg-shells,
 G                       F                    C     
 Trying to floss up your top-set with a rusty chain.
 
 F           G       C  
 It's all because of you
 F           G       C  
 It's all because of you
 F           G       C  
 It's all because of you
 F           G       C  
 It's all because of you
 F           G       C  
 It's all because of you
 F           G       C  
 It's all because of you
