Breathe

(Words and music by Per Gessle)

Intr: C G Am F G (2x)

                  Am  F   G      
 I've got to come down, I've been
C                  Am  F
 awake for far too long
  C           G                  
 My eyes look torn, they were so 
Am  F
strong
 G          C                  Am 
 I wore the crown, I wrote the 
 F    C     G
song, now it's fading

 F            Am   Dm            
 My heart was open like a window 
     C      G
to a summer breeze


   C   G         Am               
 I breathed your love, I filled my
 F        G
 lugs and veins
Continues after the ad
       C    G        Am         
 And I breathed your love until 
F          G
I felt the pain
          C       Am       G
 and like rain it slipped away

                 Am F     G       
 I tried to find out what love was
 C           Am F
 really all about
  C           G               Am F
 Behind the curtain waits the sky
             G    C         Am F
 It's rare I feel enough to cry,
     C         G
 I'm drying up inside

 F           Am   Dm             
 My life was open like a window 
      C      G
to the summer breeze


 I breathed your love, I filled my 
lungs and veins

 And I breathed your love until I 
met the pain

 and like rain it slipped away, just
 like a little rain...

   C   G          Am            
 I breathed your love and 
F            G
nothing stayed the same
        C    G        Am    
 Yes, I breathed your love and 
             F        G
filled my heart in vain
          C        Am     G  G7 
 cos like rain it slipped away, 
          C       Am     G
just like rain it swept away
