[Intro: C F G x2]
G Am G Am G
C G C F G C
[Verse 1]
C G
You should put that cigarette out
C Em G
You should have faith in my mouth
C G
Like your mother, like your son
C G
Like my temperamental lungs
Am G F G
Each piece fits into the next
C G C
I come not black and I'm not white
Em G C
Both reveal me in my sight....
[Verse 2]
C Am G
You've got twinkles in your eyes
C Am G
You say "vegetarians save lives"
C Am G
But there's your wings despite my back
C F G
There's your baby's bassinet
Am G Am G
Will there be one more of me?
C D Em
Close my eyes and try to hide
C D C
From my form of dragonfly
C G Bm C Am
C G
[Verse 3]
C F G
Little bear woke in the woods
C Am G
Chipped and peeled vehicle hoods
C F G
In that pen under the covers
C F G
I've been stealing from my lover
Am G Am G
Moments I cannot replace
C G Em
To my former dragonfly
C G C
I resist and I survive...
C x2
G Em G Am Am
C G
[Verse 4]
C Am G
What a state I've brought this to
C F G
Logic lies of mine pull through?
C Am G
But what's that say of my character?
C F G
I retreat back into nature
Am G Am G
Will there be one more of me?
C D Em
To my form of dragonfly

I resist and I survi-i-ive, survi-i-ive
