Tom: E
E G#m C#m A
[Verse]
E
I was trapped and now I'm free
G#m
The door was locked, but I found the key
C#m
Crashing waves have kept me beneath my mental surface
A
But I'm coming back up, break the water and find my purpose
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Because I can breathe again
G#m
I can obtain that happiness despite where I've been
C#m
Because sometimes, I got myself messed up beyond my belief
A
But that's just where we were, and I've found my relief
[Chorus]
E
Because I can breathe again
I can come up from that water
G#m
Break the surface tension
Break my tension in my heart as I gasp for air
C#m
I can feel again, I can feel these things again
A
And I'm going to be okay, because I've survived the awful days
E
And I'll keep on pushing, keep on fighting
Spread the dark away with lighting
G#m
I'll make my own path from the dirt
Fight my demons right where they lurked
C#m
Because I can breathe again
The dark grimy water is out of my lungs
A
And I can speak again, a language of joyful tongues
E
Climb up this ladder, and damn right, I'll use every single rung
G#m
Because my heart is singing, my ears are ringing
C#m
But it's ringing of joy, a symphony of glee
A
Away from the dark, find myself, once again, I'll find me
I was in a pit, and I found my way out
E
I can do my own things, because I know what I'm about
G#m
Follow my dreams, and nobody can stop me
C#m
A pair of binoculars, only ahead I can see
A
Break free of the chain, dance in the rain
My smile can stomp the frown
E
This dark water can't keep me down
G#m
Because I can breathe again
C#m
Mom, dad
A
I can breathe again
