[Verse 1]
A
Johnny, get a hold of your life
A
Wherever I go
A                       Bm
Your face is in front of me
Bm
(you aren't breathing)


[Verse 2]
A
Holding up the end of the line
A
If there ever was a crack in the ice
A                       Bm
You don't believe in it
Bm
You are a diamond, set


[Pre-Chorus]
        D
On an immaculate height.

[Verse 3]
A
Belly up and under the wire
A                                       Bm
Lying awake in the hours and the emptiness


[Verse 4]
A
Only to run from the days we are living in
A                                                       Bm
You only get a look at your life when you're leaving it
Bm
And in the silences


[Chorus]
                D
When you're arrested in flight
D
When you lie on your back
D
With your eyes on the firmament


[Interlude 2]
A Bm


[Verse 5]
A
Your burning mouth, your blazing eyes
        Bm
Come on!
Bm
If you believe in it


[Chorus]
        D
It's a respectable life.
D
Go police all the beats
D
You'll find nothing is innocent


[Verse 6]
A
Johnny, get a hold of your life
A                                       Bm
Stop at the edge till the animus drains away


[Verse 7]
A
Or follow the loneliest road
A
Run in the dark
A                       Bm
Till a light comes screaming in
Bm
Through the silences


[Chorus]
        D
You are alone on the ice
D
And you stand on the brakes
D                       A
To find nothing is happening
