G Cadd9
Once in a while,
Em7 D G
I see myself.
G
No longer enchanted
Cadd9
By the future or the past,
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I break the spell.
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
Once in a while,
Em7 D G
It’s crystal clear,
G
The shadows, the light,
Cadd9
Even my scars overnight
Em7 D Cadd9 G
They disappear
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
If every breath is sacred,
Cadd9 G
God, I want to breathe.
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,
Cadd9 G D
Deep enough to believe
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9
Once in awhile
Em7 D G
It all sinks in,
G
I try to keep my head
Cadd9
Above the water
Em7 D Cadd9 G
God knows, but I can’t swim.
[Verse 4]
G
Once in a while,
Em7 D G
I put up a fight-
G
I write another song
Cadd9
And sing it with all my might,
G
Renegotiate the terms
Cadd9
Of this terminal life,
Em7 D Cadd9 G
I put up a fight.
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7 G
If every breath is sacred,
Cadd9 Em7 G
God, I want to breathe.
Cadd9 Em7 G Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,
Cadd9 Em7 G D
Deep enough to believe
Cadd9 Em7 G
Then if every breath is sacred,
Cadd9 Em7 G
God, I want to breathe.
Cadd9 Em7 G Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,
Cadd9 Em7 G D
Deep enough to believe
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G
Please show me how to breathe deep
Cadd9 G
Please show me how to breathe deep
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
If every breath is sacred,
Cadd9 G
God, I want to breathe.
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,
Cadd9 G D
Deep enough to believe
