Chord reference C, G, Am, D
Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[C]Suspended in the air, I hear myself [G]breathing. [C]Hanging by a thread, my heart is [G]barely beating.

[C]I haven’t fallen yet, but I feel it [G]coming. Tell me [C]would it be too much to ask. If you [G]break it to me gently.

That I’m [C]waking the next day, without you be[G]side me. And who I [C]hold onto today. Tomorrow will [G]just be a memory.

That [C]I will look back at all [G]of this. And [C]wonder why I stayed in here. [G]Just to watch you disappear.

So I [Am]breathe and [G]let you [C]go. How do I [Am]breathe and [G]let you [C]go?

Before it’s too [C]late I’ll take a step [G]away. I know one word would [Am]make me go. Rushing back to [G]you.

So I’ll just shut my [C]eyes, forget that you were [G]mine. How do you go from [Am]making one your home. And then just [G]letting it all go. Let me [D]take it in, be[C]fore [G]it [Am]sinks in.

[C]Far beyond my reach, is the future you [G]promised? Now what I [C]never even had, I have every [G]reason to miss.

And I [C]don’t know. Where I could find the [G]strength to let you go. When the [C]only life I’ve come to know.

[G]Packed his bags and left me [Am]alo[G]ne. [C] He found another [Am]home. [G] [C]

So before it’s too [C]late, I’ll take a step [G]away. I know one word would [Am]make me go. Rushing back to [G]you.

And I’ll just shut my [C]eyes, forget that you were [G]mine. How do you go from [Am]making one your home. And then just [G]letting it all go. Let me [D]take it in, be[C]fore [G]it [Am]sinks in.

[C]Ohhh[G], [C]go, [C]ohhh[G], [C]go…

Before it’s too [C]late I’ll take a step [G]away. I know one word would [Am]make me go. Rushing back to [G]you.

I’ll just shut my [C]eyes, forget that you were [G]mine. How do you go from [Am]making one your home. And then just [G]letting it all go. Let me [D]take it in, be[C]fore [G]it [Am]sinks in.
