Tom: Am

C                         F
You come and go, but you, you can't resist me
Em                           F
You let yourself in and you climb up beside me
     C        F         Fm             C      F     Em
And build me up and you make me beautiful
C                          F
You wash my hair and you, you feed my horses, you
Em                           F
You leave your shoes and you make your excuses
    C          F          Fm                 C      F     Fm
And go and you go and you make me thirst for you

[Chorus]
           C   F            Em     Dm  C
And when I breathe, I will breathe you in
        F           G       Dm
I will breathe you into my veins
             C  F             Em   Dm   C
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed
         F       G          Dm            C    F  Em
You will open me up to the birds and the rain

C                               F
And when you are calm, you are blue and reflective, you
Em                           F
You trace my palm with your, your icy fingers
     C         F             Fm            C
And catch the light and you make me beautiful
C                         F
And when you're wild, you get under my skin, you rub
Em                           F                        C
Salt in old wounds and you tear at my limbs, til you tire
         F         Fm                C
And you go and you make me weep for you


[Chorus]
           C   F            Em     Dm  C
And when I breathe, I will breathe you in
        F           G       Dm
I will breathe you into my veins
             C  F             Em   Dm   C
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed
        F               G           Dm
And the birds come and prey on my nerves

          Em                 G
And you give some and you'll take away
        Em                   F
In the moods that you can't control
           Dm               G
And we'll drift apart and collide again
            G              F           G                     C   F   Em
Cause our lives have been tied by the weight of a powerful force
                     C     F   Em
There's a powerful force

[Chorus]
           C   F            Em     Dm  C
And when I breathe, I will breathe you in
        F           G       Dm
I will breathe you into my veins
             C  F             Em   Dm   C
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed
        F               G           Dm 
And the birds will be send on nerves  
C     F     Em    C    F   Em
Again
