Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
(some  hammers  on the 5th string when you play Am and C)
 
We were waking ------ up
 
 There was some blood coming from my mouth And a little
 
fear my---------- heart
 
I knew the concern----- you were showing As my-- lover--
 
 dying in thought-- As- my- breath
 
became so shallow and--------- sparse
 
 It's been a--- long ^^time since then But I could feel myself repairing
 
Before Ibegan to damage my---------self again
 
 And I co--eded  my ^^fa--ther and my brother just a----s well
 
We cannot escape the cause of thi------------s life----- style
 My breath is a hammer
 
 My insides are taxed like an anvil
 My heartbeat's a tremor
 
And I have not love but for nico-----------------------tine
 
And I wa------s sick all of the winter and summer aren't m----ore the same
 
Was always a sweatstained and frozen Yet hot like an----------engine
 
 And with sleep came the cu----rsing You know I know what is the poison
 
Will I breathe in my start like hands clasp themselves with con--------viction
 
 There i----s little a ^^man can do When hi----s body is bent on a reckoning
 
 The--se wounds can be hidden oh so well Yeah like a---------- demon
 
 And I ca----n hear it in my ^^voice, oh Lord Can't ^^you-- hear ^^i-----t too?
 
And it scares me almost to tears As I know it wi---------ll ta----ke you---
 My breath is a hammer
 
 My insides are taxed like an anvil
 My heartbeat's a tremor
 
And I have not love but for nico-----------------------tine
 My breath is a hammer
 
 My insides are taxed like an anvil
 My heartbeat's a tremor
 
And I have not love but for nico-----------------------tine
