Intro 

C 
Hey living thing, buy me a drink 
                        F       Am  G 
and drive me out to the airport 
C 
give me two hundred dollars and say 
                              F    Am  G 
the best thing anyone's ever said 


C 
if you steal every word, from your grandmother's purse 
                         F         Am  G 
and lay them out on the dashboard 
         C  F  C  F  Am  G 
we'll be fine... 
              C  G  C  F  Em  F 
we'll be fine. 


C 
Hey living thing, if you're turning in 
                              F       Am  G 
I'll wake you when something changes 
C 
then I'll ring all the bells again 
                                  F     Am  G 
and you'll spill champagne in my shoes 


C 
We'll make rose-coloured smoke 
                                         F     Am  G 
from bad horoscopes, confetti from news pages 
              C  F  C  F  Am  G  
and you'll be mine... 
          F 
you'll be mine. 


C            G      C       F 
and the same heart attack 
          Em     F      G  F  C 
will keep feeding back 
      G     C      F 
right under the street 
          Em    F    G  F  G 
skipping every other beat 


Fill/Outro 
(Hey living thing, let me in to the world you live in) 

C   F   Am  G  x2 

C 
Hey living thing, you've waited for it 
                      F          Am  G 
for billions counting backwards 
C 
like a dog on a fire escape, 
                           F   Am  G 
like a bird in a basement 


    Am                                         
Now release your breath from its paper bag       
       Em 
and no matter what you hear 
    F 
if green lights should rain down tonight 
                             Dm  G 
it means tomorrow's another year 

C        G     C      F 
The same heart attack 
          Em   F       G  F  C 
will keep feeding back 
      G  C      F 
right under the street 
         Em    F           G  F  G 
skipping every other beat 


Dm                                 Am 
Hey living thing, you're breathing again 

G                    F   C 
you're breathing again
