[Opening]
[C]Suspended in the air, I hear myself [G]breathing.
[C]Hanging by a thread, my heart is [G]barely beating.
[verse 2]
[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.
[verse 3]
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.
[verse 4]
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.
[verse 5]
So I [Am]breathe and [G]let you [C]go.
How do I [Am]breathe and [G]let you [C]go?
[chorus]
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.
[chorus]
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.
[verse 6]
[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.
[verse 7]
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.
[verse 8]
[G]Packed his bags and left me [Am]alo[G]ne. [C]
He found another [Am]home. [G] [C]
[chorus]
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.
[chorus]
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.
[Closing]
[C]Ohhh[G], [C]go, [C]ohhh[G], [C]go…
[chorus]
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.
[chorus]
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.
