You and I are friends of empty graves, black air and black. black lungs.

I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way
E                                       A       E
And when you break the surface, oh, without me
E                                            A       E    G#

Let the dirt hang heavy in your chest, drag me deeper down the long dark ground
          C#m              G#
Know that all my love will be your breath,
(strum once each)
       F#                 A              E
I will save you when your lights go out.
