Lungs Townes Van Zandt
Won't you lend y[Em]our lungs to me
[D]Mine are collap[Em]sing
[Em]Plant my feet and bitterly breath
[D]Up the time that's [Em]passing
[D]Breath I'll give and [Em]breath I'll take
[D]And pray the day's not [Em]poison
[Em]Stand among the [D]ones that [Em]live
[Em]In lonely [D]indeci[Em]sion
[Em]Fingers walk the darkness down
[D]Mind is on the [Em]midnight
[Em]Gather up the gold you've found
[D]You fool it's only [Em]moonlight
[D]And if you try to take it [Em]home
[D]Your hands'll turn to [Em]butter
[Em]Better leave this [D]dream al[Em]one
[Em]Try to [D]find ano[Em]ther
[Em]Salvation sat and crossed herself
[D]And called the devil [Em]partner
[Em]Wisdom burned upon a shelf
[D]Who'll kill the raging [Em]cancer?
[D]Seal the river at its [Em]mouth
[D]Take the water [Em]prisoner
[Em]Fill the sky with [D]screams and [Em]cries
[Em]Bathe in [D]fiery [Em]answers
[Em]Jesus was an only son
[D]Love his only [Em]concept
[Em]Strangers cry in foreign tongues
And [D]dirty up the [Em]doorstep
[D]And I for one and [Em]you for [D]two
[D]Ain't got the time for [Em]outside
[Em]Just keep your injured [D]looks to [Em]you
[Em]We'll tell the [D]world that we [Em]tried
