Hold Your Breath Chords - The Acorn

D#m7 F# There's a river that parts the valley of this town D#m7 F# Following the road up to your father's farm D#m7 F# Your rosy lungs were empty on the day that you were born D#m7 F# And no one thought you'd make it past the morning ----- G#m F# Ho...........Hum G#m F# Ho...........Hum ----- D#m7 Your brother said your mother F# Was a firefly you buried in the earth D#m7 And every night, the fire light F# Warms the tender bits of skin beneath your shirt D#m7 F# The climbing constellations move in semi-tones D#m7 F# And set behind the county line in a melody of gravitation Electric guitar riff:
