Whatever would Robert have said?

INTRO:

{ D Dm(no 3rd) Dm Dsus4 } x11 { D Em G D } x2

 

VERSE:

I am the suck of air you take

 

that you've had many times before;

 

I am the blow you try to fake,

 

but which still throws you out the door;

 

I am the air that fills your lungs,

 

but leaves you emptier below;

 

I am the void that you can't explain,

 

G D Dm Dm(no 3rd) D9 D

but which is where you want to go.

 

 

BRIDGE:

Flame sucks between the balls of steel;

 

nothing moves, the air itself congeals.

 

 

CHORUS:

Look at the flame if you want to,

 

hear the sharp crack of the fission,

 

smell the brief vapour of ozone,

 

feel static motion.

 

 

I am the love you try to hide,

 

but which all can understand;

 

I am the hate you still deny,

 

though the blood is on your hands;

 

I am the peace you're searching for,

 

but you know you'll never find;

 

I am the pain you can't endure,

 

but which tingles in your mind.

 

 

BRIDGE:

Flame sucks between the balls of steel;

CHORUS:

Look at the flame if you want to,

feel static motion.

 

 

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE IN D:

 

 

I am the joy you really pay for,

 

but which comes completely free;

 

I am your god on the final day,

 

for the truth is you are me...
