I Stop And I Breathe

F  Dm   C F   Dm   C


[Verse 1]
F                  Dm        Gm 
  We are still all right, we 
            A7
took it on the chin,
    Dm                      Bb    
But in the thirteenth hour, no one
      F     C
 ever wins, but
F               Dm          A7
  We're strong enough, like traffic 
all tied up,
    Dm                         
And when the static clears, the 
 Bb           F     C
radios still buzz, and I,


[Chorus]
Db             Ab                 
  I stop and I breathe ‘cause you 
Eb
wanted me.
Db             Ab     Gb
  And I wanted you so bad.
Eb                 Bb            
  And I stop and I breathe ‘cause
   F
 I still believe
Continues after the ad
       Eb                   Ab    
No one really knows what it is 
     Bb
that we have


[Verse 2]
     F          Dm       A7
Like blood in a vein, we chased this
 one down,
    Gm             Dm            
And in the darkest long night we 
Bb             F          C
turned it all around, and it was
F             Dm        A7
  Coal-dusted snow that covered the 
fields,
        Bb            Dm          
But the corn it still grew, and 
  Gm     F       C
the injury healed, and I


[Chorus]
Db             Ab                 
  I stop and I breathe ‘cause you 
Eb
wanted me.
Db             Ab     Gb
  And I wanted you so bad.
Eb                 Bb            
  And I stop and I breathe ‘cause
   F
 I still believe
       Eb                   Ab    
No one really knows what it is 
     Bb   C
that we have


[Interlude]
F Dm A7   Dm  F Gm  C F Dm 

A7   Dm  Gm C


[Chorus]
Db             Ab                 
  I stop and I breathe ‘cause you 
Eb
wanted me.
Db             Ab     Gb
  And I wanted you so bad.
Eb                 Bb            
  And I stop and I breathe ‘cause
   F
 I still believe
       Eb                   Ab    
No one really knows what it is 
     Bb
that we have.
