[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Am][Em]
[Em][C][Am][Em]
[Em][C][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Take a look at these hands[C]
[Am]Take a look at these hands[Em]
The hand [C]speaks
The hand of a [Am]government [Em]man
Well, I'm a [C]tumbler
Born under punch[Am]es
[Em]I'm so thin

[Chorus 1]
[Em]All I [C]want is to b[Am]reathe[Em]
(I'm too thin)
Won't you [C]breathe with [Am]me?[Em]
Find a little [C]space
So [Am]we move in betw[Em]een
(In between it)
And keep one step a[C]head
of your[Am]self[Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Don't you miss it, don't you miss it[C]
Some of you people just about [Am]missed [Em]it
Last time to make [C]plans
And I'm a [Am]tumbler
[Em]I'm a government man

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Never seen anythin[C]g
like that be[Am]fore[Em]
Falling [C]bodies tumble 'cross the [Am]floor
(Well, I'm a [Em]tumbler)
When you get to [C]where you wanna [Am]be
[Em](Thank you, thank you)
When you get to [C]where you wanna [Am]be
(Yeah, don't even men[Em]tion it)

[Verse 3]
[Em]Oh, take a look at these hands
[C]They're passing in between us
[Am]Take a look at these hands[Em]
Take a look at these hands
[C]I don't have to mention it
[Am]No, thanks
[Em]I'm a government man

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C]
[Am][Em]

[Solo 1]
[Em][C][Am][Em]
[Em][C][Am][Em]
[Em][C][Am][Em]
[Em][C][Am][Em]

[Bridge 1]
And the [Em]heat goes on and the [C]heat goes on
And the [Am]heat goes on and the [Em]heat goes on
And the heat goes on
where the [C]hand has been
And the [Am]heat goes on and the [Em]heat goes on
And the heat goes on and the [C]heat goes on
And the [Am]heat goes on and the [Em]heat goes on
And the heat goes on
where the [C]hand has been
And the [Am]heat goes on and the [Em]heat goes on

[Bridge 2]
[Em]I'm not a drowning man[C]
[Am]And I'm not a burning building
[Em]I'm a tumbler
Drowning cannot hurt a [C]man
[Am]Fire cannot hurt a man
[Em]Not the government man

[Outro 1]
[Em]All I [C]want is to b[Am]reathe[Em]
(Thank you, thank you)
Won't you [C]breathe with [Am]me?[Em]
Find a little [C]space
So [Am]we move in betw[Em]een
And keep one step a[C]head of your[Am]self
(I'm catching [Em]up with myself)
[Em]All I [C]want is to b[Am]reathe[Em]
Won't you [C]breathe with [Am]me?
[Em](Hands of a government man)
Find a little [C]space
So [Am]we move in betw[Em]een
And keep one step a[C]head of your[Am]self
(Don't you [Em]miss it, don't you miss it)
[Repeat and fade]
