[Verse]
Bb 
 Taking hold, breaking in 
F 
The pressures on, need to circulate 
Gm
Mesmerized and taken in 
Eb 
Moving slow, so it resonates 
Bb 
It's time to rest, not to sleep away 
F 
My thoughts alone, try to complicate 
Gm 
I'll do my best, to seek you out 
Eb 
And be myself, and not impersonate  

[Pre Chorus:] 
Dm          Eb               Bb 
I tried so hard to not walk away 
          F                 Gm 
And when things don't go my way 
                Eb 
I'll still carry on and on just the same

[Chorus:] 
Bb                  F 
I've always been strong 
                     Gm 
But can't make this happen 
                    Eb 
'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in 
Bb             F 
The fear of becoming
                   Gm 
I'm so tired of running 
                   Eb 
'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breath you in 
I want to breathe you in

[Verse 2:]   
Bb 
I'm going in, so cover me 
F 
Your compass will, help me turn the page 
Gm
The laughing stock, I'll never be 
Eb 
Because I won't let them take me  

[Pre Chorus:] 
Dm          Eb               Bb 
I tried so hard to not walk away 
          F                 Gm 
And when things don't go my way 
                Eb 
I'll still carry on and on just the same

[Chorus:] 
Bb                  F 
I've always been strong 
                     Gm 
But can't make this happen 
                    Eb 
'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in 
Bb             F 
The fear of becoming
                   Gm 
I'm so tired of running 
                   Eb 
'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breath you in 
I want to breathe you in

  [Bridge]  
Gm             Eb           Bb              F 
Took awhile to see all the love that's around me 
           Gm           Eb            Bb               F 
Through the highs and lows there's a truth that I've known 
Gm         Eb 
And it's you

[Chorus:] 
Bb                  F 
I've always been strong 
                     Gm 
But can't make this happen 
                    Eb 
'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breathe you in 
Bb             F 
The fear of becoming
                   Gm 
I'm so tired of running 
                   Eb                       Bb
'Cause I need to breathe, I want to breath you in 
I want to breathe you in
Gm 
I want to breathe you in
                     Eb
I want to breathe you in 
               Bb
 I want to, I want to 
                      F 
I want to breathe you in
                      Gm 
I want to breathe you in 
                Eb 
I want to breathe; I want to, I want to 
Bb 
Wanna breathe
               F 
I want to breathe you in
             Gm 
I want to breathe you in
           Eb 
I wanna breathe
