C9 G C9 G C9 G G/F# Em Am D7
C9 G
Eight weeks in the city,
C9 G
And you've never looked so pale,
C9
They say the pure of heart don't stand a chance,
G G/F# Em
And you'd better learn to swim,
Am D7
Cause there will be rainy days.
C9 G
I'm blinded the brake lights,
C9 G
Well there's nothing moving here,
C G G/F# Em
And all your burning questions, they just get answered with another one,
Am D7
And there's no help at all.
C9 G
So question me no questions,
C9 G
It's a pointless enterprise,
C9 G G/F# Em
You ask and i'll only tell you what I think you want to hear,
Am D7
Oh mind the whitest lies.
C9 G
Cause the truth, well it's for students of philosophy,
C9 G
And faith is for losers like us,
C G G/F# Em
And secrets are for people who intend to get away with being in the wrong,
Am D7
So don't you breath a word.
C
But save your breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
save your breath,
D G Bm
For the talking all night, oh..
C
Save you breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
Save your breath,
D
Save your breath.
C9 G
Will you listen to their bleeding hearts?
C9 G
Pretend to show concern,
C G G/F# Em
And so we glanced our watches and join in as everybody sings,
Am D7
Oh what have we become?
C9 G
Will you hop a train to anywhere?
C9 G
It sure ain't no place like home,
C G G/F# Em
Where there are no strangers, only people you don't want to know,
Am D7
But before the crying out loud..
C
But save your breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
save your breath,
D G Bm
For the talking all night, oh..
C
Save your breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
Save your breath,
D
Save your breath.
C9 G
So meet me by the station,
C9 G
And bring a change of heart,
C9 G G/F# Em
And smile away the old country as we watch it disappear
Am D7
And pull these years apart.
C9 G
And scatter from the window,
C9 G
To settle on the fields,
C9 G G/F# Em
And tell yourself a hundred times that forever starts today,
Am D7
And think how good it feels.
C
But save your breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
save your breath,
D G Bm
For the talking all night, oh..
C
Save you breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
Save your breath,
D
Save your breath.
C
So save your breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
save your breath,
D G Bm
For the talking all night, oh..
C
Save you breath,
D G Bm
For the laughing aloud, again,
C
Save your breath,
D
So save...
C
Save your breath, D G Bm
(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)
C
Save your breath, D G Bm
(There must be something you consider to be worth fighting for)
C
Save your breath, D G Bm
(Waste your breath on running circles, round and round and round and round)
C D
Save your breath, G Bm
(And talking about it when it cannot get you down)
C D
Save your breath, G Bm
(Nobody wants that much we just want more)
C
Save your breath, D G Bm
(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)
C
Save your breath, D G Bm
(Don't waste your breath on running circles, round and round and round and round)
C D
Save your breath.
