(intro) ( A5 E5 D5 B5 )

(verse 1)
A5
Taking hold, breaking in
E5
The pressures on, need to circulate
D5
Mesmerized and taken in
B5
Moving slow, so it resonates
A5
It's time to rest, not to sleep away
E5
My thoughts alone, try to complicate
D5
I'll do my best, to seek you out
B5
And be myself, not impersonate

(pre-chorus)
E5               D5                A5
Tried so hard to not walk away
         E5                  D5
And when things don't go my way
                   A5
I'll still carry on and on just the same

(chorus)
A5                            E5
I've always been strong
                                B5
But can't make this happen
                             D5                              A5
'cause i need to breathe, i want to breathe you in
                 E5
The fear of becoming
                B5
So tired of running
                D5
Cause i need to breathe, i want to breathe you in

I want to breathe you in

(verse 2)
I'm going in, so cover me
Your compass will, help me turn the page
The laughing stock i'll never be
Because i won't let them take me

(pre-chorus)
Tried so hard to not walk away
And when things don't go my way
I'll still carry on and on just the same

(chorus)
I've always been strong
But can't make this happen
'cause i need to breathe, i want to breathe you in
The fear of becoming
So tired of running
Cause i need to breathe

(bridge)
B5             D5          A5           E5
Took awhile to see all the love that's around me
B5                    D5              A5           E5
Through the highs and lows there's a truth that i know
B5         D5
And it's you

(chorus)
I've always been strong
But can't make this happen
'cause i need to breathe, i want to breathe you in
The fear of becoming
So tired of running
Cause i need to breathe, i want to breathe you in
I want to breathe you in
