A Am
She's breathing into lone dead stars
A
Have you ever seen it
Am
I ain't seen nothing at all
Run into verse with the same Em G(+) intro.
Same chords for the rest of the Verses/Chorus
Come see the water break my fall
No-one knows no-one comes
Have you ever seen the book?
The one on my help
The one entitled self death, self death
How to earn a million pounds
I can see it now, oh the hearse
She's breathing down a hole in my head
In the dirty half-light
Where time means nothing at all
I'm calling out to someone
Anyone who'll have me
Does anybody need me?
Does anyone know how to cry?
What happens when i go?
What happens when it snows?
I bet you could if you want'd to end

You can then end the song by a few PART 1s, or go through the whole solo
again. I like it so much i go over the solo a few times.
