[Intro] F  Am  C/G

F
If we wrote our story
Am                    C/G
We wouldnt be writing for very long
F
We'd skip the first chapters
Am                        C/G
And get to the climax and we'd stay forever
F                   Am
I would be timid at first until the whisky
C/G
Then id be timid no more
F                         Am
Couple charming looks and some funny words
C/G
I'd show you mine
Em
Youd show me yours too

F
Now I lie awake
Am                      Em
I died those nights you had me in your eyes
F
I want you back baby
Am
I want your name in my songs
Em
Your warmth in my lungs
G
I want to breathe you

( F  Am  C/G  Em )

F                       Am
My band came to play in your beautiful city
C/G
You looked like that city too
F                         Am
I had on sunglasses so you couldnt see
Em
That baby, I was looking at you
F               Am
And most of the time
Em
You smiled like a child
You smile like a child

F
Now I lie awake
Am                    Em
I died those nights I had you in my eyes
F
I want you back baby
Am
I want your name in my songs
Em
Your warmth in my lungs

G           Em
  I want to breathe you
