Neutral Milk Hotel - I Hear You Breathe

      [Verse 1] 
 C                                         F
I hear you breathe as you sleep through the morning
                                    C
And the sun cracks through winter's wind
                              F
Screaming out an effervescent warning
F
That all that's true is sure to end

[Verse 2]
C
But won't you peel your eyes to the TV screen
          F
Won't you read me your articles from your boring magazines
             C
And fill the spaces with your lipstick screams
             F                                             C
Well that's all you ever gave, that's all you ever gave to me

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C
Sinking like a stone in the water all alone
             F
You will not find me
                                         C
Your reflection is the only sight you'll see
                    F
A heart that has no memory
                             C
For all your tears they will drown you
                             F
And sink you for one million miles
                                      C
And when the fear of life has finally found you
                                 F
And crushes you inside the ocean tides
                        C
My ship will be sailing by
