(D A A A A Bm Bm Bm Bm )
16th of June, nine 0 five, door bell rings
Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer
There’s a few things I need you to know. Three
Coming from a long line of travelling sales people on my mother’s
side
I wasn’t gonna buy just anyone’s cockatoo
So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home
Would you?
These days are better than that
These days are better than that
G D E
Every ... day I die again, and again I’m reborn
G D E
Every ... day I have to find the courage
Bm G D A
To walk out into the street
Bm G D A
With arms out got a love you can’t defeat
Bm G D E D A A A A
Neither down or out/There’s nothing you have that I neeeeeeed...
Bm Bm Bm Bm
I can breathe
D A A A A Bm Bm Bm Bm
Breathe now
( D A A A A Bm Bm Bm Bm )
16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up
And I’m coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you’re fine, or dying
Please
Nine 0 nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine
But I’m running down the road like loose electricity
While the band in my head plays a striptease
G D E
The roar that lies on the other side of silence
G D E
The forest fire that is fear so deny it
Bm G D A
Walk out into the street
Bm G D A
Sing your heart out/The people we meet
Bm G D E D A A A A
Will not be drowned out/There’s nothing you have that I neeeeeeed...
Bm Bm Bm Bm
I can breathe
D A A A A Bm Bm Bm Bm
Breathe now
Yeah, yeah
