C C F F
Between two lungs it was released
C C
The breath that carried me
Em Em
The sigh that blew me forward

G G
'cause it was trapped
F F
Trapped between two lungs
G G F F
It was trapped between two lungs
G G F F C C
It was trapped between two lungs

C C F F
And my running feet could fly
C C F F C C
Each breath screaming: "We are all too young to die!"


C C F F C C F F

C C F F C C
Between two lungs it was released
F F C C
The breath that passed from you to me
F F C C
It flew between us as we slept
F F C C
It slipped from your mouth into mine it crept
F F C C
Between two lungs it was released
F F C C
The breath that passed from you to me
F F C C
It flew between us as we slept
F F C C
It slipped from your mouth into mine it crept
C C F F C C

G G
'cause it was trapped
F F
Trapped between two lungs
G G F F
It was trapped between two lungs

C C F F C C
Gone are the days of begging, the days of theft
F F C C
No more gasping for a breath
F F C C
The air has filled me head to toe
F F C C
And I can see the ground far below
F F C C
I have this breath and I hold it tight
F F C C
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
F F C C
I pray to God this breath will last
F F G G
As it pushes past my lips as I...
G G F F G G C C
Gasp, Gasp.
Em Em
Oh oh oh oh
Am Am
Oh oh oh oh
G G
Oh oh oh oh
C C
Oh oh oh

About this song: Between Two Lungs

This song about a kiss was one of the first songs that she'd ever written and became the prototype for her dark, quirky and intense sound. It came about when Welch was experimenting in a friend's home studio. Instead of playing the drums, she pounded the studio walls with her hands. The fledgling songwriter picked out a melody on the piano even though it wasn't an instrument she knew how to play, and recorded the backing vocals first, before writing the top line. Welch recalled to The Sun February 2, 2009 "When I hear it, I'm hearing myself learning how to make a song, piece by piece.
