Breathe

[Verse]
G             C              G  C
Help me, it’s happening again
G         C              G  C
I wake up gasping for air
    D
I’m reaching for something
                      G  C
That’s no longer there

[Verse]
G           C                    G  C
Dreaming of pathways back to then
G            C               G  C
Knowing that it will never be
         D
And it’s suffocating me

[Chorus]
                C
If I could just breathe
              D
All I need to do
            Em
Is simply exhale
        D/F#  G
And let go of you
                 C
But I don’t dare breathe
               D
Instead I sink down
       Em    G  C
I hold tight to you
                    G  C
And let myself drown

[Verse]
G             C                   G  C
Catch me, I’m sinking far too fast
G           C                   G  C
Pulled by a darkness deep inside
      G/B              D
And I surrender to the tide

[Chorus]
                C
If I could just breathe
              D
All I need to do
            Em
Is simply exhale
        D/F#  G
And let go of you
                 C
But I don’t dare breathe
               D
Instead I sink down
       Em    G  C
I hold tight to you
                    Am
And let myself drown

[Bridge]
                Em           D/F#        Am
The scars fade away, and the bruises all heal
                 Em           D/F#           Am
I hang on to the hurt cause I can’t help but feel
    Am          C               G        D
The pain is the only proof that you were real

[Verse]
G          C                      G  C
Hold me as I fall through the void
G          C                   G  C
Wrapped up in its empty embrace
 G/B                  D
Alone with my memories
                  G  C
And infinite space

[Verse]
G         C                    G  C
Dreams of something I destroyed
G             C                    G  C
Dreams that I know cannot come true
G/B             D         G   C  G  G/B
Dreams of a lifetime with you

[Chorus]
              C
If I can just breathe
                D
Then I can move on
              Em
I’ll simply exhale
    D/F#      G
And you’ll be gone
             C
But I cannot breathe
               D/F#
I’ll never let go
    Em          G    C
The pain is the only thing
      G  C  G  C
I know
