                    G 
I have something to say as has anyone who's ever made 
                    C 
Anything worth enjoying, nobody can destroy it 
                     D                                  Em 
Left unchecked, it mutates, bleeding desperation to create 
                    C 
Collapses me like a star, sickness inside my heart 
    Gmaj7                                                      C 
Whenever I fear death, I think of that which I would fear much more 
      Cmaj7 
Never dying, is that what you all are striving for 
D                            Em 
I leave a stream of greenery in every path I walk 
C 
Chased by a monster of a thousand voices that always wants one more 
 

 
                               G     Cmaj7 
Please don't ever take it from me 
C                         Em                   C 
Changes the colour of the air that I breathe 
 

 
                   D 
In grief's fertile land, the space in between clapping hands 
                     Cmaj7 
They say it'll pass, I used to pray that it would 
                                       D 
But its absence never brought anything good 
                       Em 
I wake in the morning, do all of my chores, then 
   C 
Of thinking in silence, and drinking sweet wine 
           D                               Em 
Putting my mind somewhere outside where it can feel the sun 
C 
Maybe it'll connect with someone 
 

 
G 
The world's the world and I'm a person in a tiny body 
Cmaj7                      C 
I vow to live, I won't let fear be anything that stops me 
D                         Em 
I'm not a violent person, but I make things with aggression 
C 
I'm not a violent person, but my work is one exception 
 

 
                               G     Cmaj7 
Please don't ever take it from me 
C                         Em                   C 
Changes the colour of the air that I breathe 
 

 
  Am7 
I wasn't always tortured, I made art long before then 
  D 
I call into the void until I lose my voice 
        Gmaj7 
But sometimes a cry reverberates back 
                 G                Em7 
A child with mud-caked hands or a prolific and obsessive older man 
            Am7 
I'd do it unpaid, unseen, unthanked 
           D 
It's worth more than anything that I have 
G 
(You can never have it ever) 
G 
(You can never have it ever) 
G 
(You can never have it ever) 
 

 
G                                          C 
(You can) I won't let you take it from me 
                          Em                 C 
Changes the colour of the air that I breathe 
                             G    C 
I won't let you take it from me 
                          Em                 Em7  C 
Changes the colour of the air that I breathe 
                             N.C. 
I won't let you take it from me
