Tom: F#m
E D A
This is the story of a kid who never did learn how to breathe
E6
But strangely enough
E D A
Other Than That He Was Normal He Did Anything Other Kids Did Like Play Or Read
E6
But There Was Something Wrong With Him
(pre Chorus)
F#m
His lungs were too big,
Faug
or maybe too small
F#m
The doctors never figured it out,
A D C#
so they did nothing at all
[Chorus]
A D
They said take a deep breath but he couldn’t,
A D
and they told him that his body shouldn’t,
A
Be like this,
D
But there was something in his chest,
Dm
And he was trying his damn best to fit in
A Dm A Dm
with everyone who could breathe
A Dm A Dm
Breathe
[Verse]
E D A
Several Years Later He Decides To Run Away From Everything
E6
His Home And His Family
E D A
He Couldn’t Take The Pressure Both Quite Literally And Figuratively
E6
His World Was Collapsing
(pre Chorus)
F#m
He Doesn’t Know How
Faug
To Cope With It All
F#m A
‘Cause No One Ever Taught Him To Get Up
D C#
After The Fall
[Chorus]
A D
They said take a deep breath but he couldn’t,
A D
and they told him that his body shouldn’t,
A
Be like this,
D
But there was something in his chest,
Dm
And he was trying his damn best to fit in
A Dm A Dm
with everyone who could breathe
(post Chorus)
A Dm A
People Don’t Understand How To Sympathize
D A
It’s Something They Can’t Relate To
Dm A
What To Do
Dm A. Dm
In Someone Else’s Shoes
[Outro]
A D Dm
Breathe
A D Dm
Just Breathe
