C     G               C              G
  You stepped in, and dark turned to light
  Am7        G                   C         G
I knew right there, you were the breath of life
C           G         C      G
  Just when I'd given up the fight
  Am7        G                   C         G
I knew right there, you were the breath of life



Em                        Am
Just when the morning air lost its bitter bite
G                    C                D
You never think your heart will butterfly
Em                   Am
Ballerina, don't you dance your life away
G                                   C      D
Those years meant nothing till this cold December day

You stepped back to say goodnight
I knew right there you were the breath of life
We looked up at a blinding light
I knew right there you were the breath of life

I never thought that I could say those words again
I think you know the ones; I'm sure you know the ones
I've been hiding, alone, in the night
On and on like a dream that never ends

   C       G          C       G
So come on out, don't say goodnight
Am7        G              C    G
Out of the shadows to the neon light
C        G               C         G
Meet you down where that Dixieland plays
Am7            G               C          G
Leave all your troubles, gonna dance 'em away

G
Drop my hands by my side, let the hours slip away

Don't say nothing, let the music play
C               G             C       G
Twenty years on down when the time is right
     Am7             G                 C         G
I'll turn around and know you were the breath of life
