      [Intro] 

Dm  E 
Dm  E 
E


[Verse 1]

Gsus4      G
It's a fire,
        Bm                 G
These dreams they pass me by,
       F
The salvation I desire,
C                    G
Keeps getting me down.
          Gsus4 G
'Cause we need to,
     Bm       G
Recognize mistakes,
               F     E
For time and again.


[Bridge]

B        
So let it be known,
               G#m
For what we believe in,
F#                 F#m
I can see no reason,
           C#m    G#
For it to fail.


[Chorus]

            F#         C#
'Cause this life is a farce,
          B                   F#
I can't breathe through this mask,
        C#
Like a fool,
            B    F#            C#
So breathe on, sister, breathe on.


[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

          Gsus4 G
From this oneself,
     Bm         G
Testify     or tell,
                F   E
It's fooling us now,


[Bridge]

B        
So let it be known,
               G#m
For what we believe in,
F#                 F#m
I can see no reason,
           C#m    G#
For it to fail.


[Chorus]

            F#         C#
'Cause this life is a farce,
          B                   F#
I can't breathe through this mask,
        C#
Like a fool,
            B   F#             C#
So breathe on, sister, breathe on. Oh,
            B          F#             C#
So breathe on, little sister, like a fool
