Verse 1:
             C#
You fought a long
            F#
long losing war
You've seen a 
C#             F#
time of better days
         C#
Yeah but through it
all you stood up tall
          F#
You never cowered in fear
             C#
You'd always ante up 
when times were tough
          F#
You never gave up on me


Refrain 1:
               Ab
In this wicked game 
of life and death
        F#
I would play my 
hand if I could


Chorus 1:
                C#
I'd breathe for you

               C#
You've seen it all
                  F#
it's all come and gone
             C#
Through the smiles 
           F#
and bitter tears
                C#
Through all the endless
nights you'd stay
up fighting
        F#
Just to make it
until dawn
        C#
Another round of
shots a bigger pot
            F#
Lies on the table waiting

               Ab
In this wicked game
of life and death
Let's throw down 
    F#
our hands in glory

                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you
                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you


Bridge:
         Bbm
Ain't it funny 
how life passes 
in the blink of
F/A
innocent young eyes
        Ab
So many names 
and faces change 
while others just
Eb/G
lay back in disguise
Yeah I hope you 
Bbm
never thought that
                   F/A
I was just another rotten
fair-weather friend
             Ab
Let's try to make
up for lost time
                Eb/G
let's make this last
until the end
          F#
Until the end
          Ab (hold)
Until the end


Chorus 3:
                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you
                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you
                C#- - F#(hold)
I'd breathe for you
