(intro) ( A E D Bm )

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

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

(chorus)
A                            E
I've always been strong
                                Bm
But can't make this happen
                             D                              A
'cause i need to breathe, i want to breathe you in
                 E
The fear of becoming
                Bm
So tired of running
                D
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)
Bm             D          A           E
Took awhile to see all the love that's around me
Bm                    D              A           E
Through the highs and lows there's a truth that i know
Bm         D
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
