 Song:
 Start strumming C
I  take a breath
And  hold the air until there's nothing  left
I'm  feeling green
Like  teenage lovers between  the sheets
 While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Knuckles  clenched to white
As  the landing gear retract  for flight
My  heads a balloon
Inflating  with the altitude
 While singing - Strum C in between both times)
I  watch the patchwork farm's
Slow  fade into the ocean's arms
And  from here they can't see me stare
The  stale taste of recycled air
I  watch the  patchwork farm's
Slow  fade into  the ocean's arms
Calm  down release  your cares
The  stale taste of  recycled air
 the end.
