The Breath You Take

Bm  G  Bm  G

[Verse 1]
    Bm                         G
He looks up from second base, Dad's 
up in the stands
    Bm                             
He saw the hit, the run, the slide,
       G
 there ain't no bigger fan
       Em
In the parkin' lot after the game
         F#m                    
He said "Dad I thought you had a 
                 G
plane to catch?"
                                   A
He smiled and said "Yeah son, I did

[Chorus]
                   D               
But life's not the breath you take,
              Em
 the breathin’ in and out
              Bm                   
That gets you through the day, 
             A
ain't what it's all about
              G                    
You just might miss the point 
    Bm
tryin' to win the race
               Em
Life's not the breaths you take
        A                     
But the moments that take your 
            D    Em       A
breath away

[Verse 2]
       Bm                       
Fast forward fifteen years and a 
   G
thousand miles away
        Bm                         
Boy's built a life, he's got a wife
       G
 and a baby due today
  Em
He hears a voice sayin' "I made it, 
son"
        F#m                      
Says "I told you, Dad, you didn't 
         G
have to come"
He smiles and says "Yeah, I know you
    A
 did

[Chorus]
                    D              
But life's not the breath you take,
              Em
 the breathin’ in and out
              Bm                   
That gets you through the day, 
             A
ain't what it's all about
               G                   
You just might miss the point 
     Bm
tryin' to win the race
                Em
Life's not the breaths you take
        A                     
But the moments that take your 
            G
breath away

[Bridge]
                    Bm
Just like it took my breath when she
 was born
             Em                 
Just like it took my breath away 
          A
when Dad took his last that morn

[Chorus]
                    D              
But life's not the breath you take,
              Em
 the breathin’ in and out
             Bm                    
That gets you through the day, 
             A
ain't what it's all about
              G                    
You just might miss the point if 
         Bm
you don’t slow down the pace
                Em
Life's not the breaths you take
       A
But the moments that take your 
breath away
