       D               Am
I will try not to breathe,
      C            G             Dsus4          Am
I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees
      C              G          D       Am       C
These eyes are the eyes of the old,
G          Dsus4     Am     C      G
shiver and fold.

I will try not to breathe,
       C            G             Dsus4        Am
This decision is mine I have lived a full life
     C                G     Am              C

Dsus4         Am        C              G                D   Am   C

Just look in my eyes

       D             Am       C               G              Dsus4        Am
