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

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


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

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

 F           Am   Dm                   C      G
 My life was open like a window 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...

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