Breathe
Words by Roger Waters
Music by Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Rick Wright

Breathe, breathe in the air.
(add9)
Don't be afraid to care.
(add9)
Leave but don't leave me.
(add9)
Look around and choose your own ground.
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
#9 B7b9
Is all your life will ever be.
A7Sus4
Run, rabbit run.
A7Sus4
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
A7Sus4
When at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
#9 D7b9 [Segue to "On the Run]
You race towards an early grave.
Time
Words and Music by Roger Waters, Nicholas Mason, David Gilmour and Rick Wright
[With clocks, alarms, and bells for approximately 40 seconds]
N..() () () () () () () () () () ()
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
A7Sus4
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Breathe (Reprise)
Words by Roger Waters
Music by Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Rick Wright
(add9) A7Sus4 (add9)
Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
(add9)
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
#9 D7b9/
To hear the softly spoken magic spell.

Money
Words and Music by Roger Waters
Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.
Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.
Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.
[Vocal ad lib simile with background conversation effects]
Us And Them
Words by Roger Waters
Music by Roger Waters & Rick Wright
(maj7)

(maj7)
Us, and them
() ()
And after all we're only ordinary men.
(maj7)
Me, and you.
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
The general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.
(maj7)
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
(maj7)
Up and down.
And in the end it's only round and round and round.
"Haven't you heard? It's a battle of words"
the poster bearer cried.
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
"There's room for you inside."
(maj7)
(maj7)
(maj7)
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
(maj7)
With, without.
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

Brain Damage
Words and Music by Roger Waters
The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head. (laughter)
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
[Segue to "Eclipse"]
Eclipse
Words and Music by Roger Waters
Bbmaj7b5
All that you touch,
All that you see,
Bbmaj7b5
All that you taste,
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
Bbmaj7b5
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
Bbmaj7b5
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
Bbmaj7b5
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
everyone you meet
Bbmaj7b5
All that you slight
everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
Bbmaj7b5
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
Bbmaj7b5
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon. [with heartbeat effects]
